Telegram CEO explains the functionality of VisionOS app for Apple Vision Pro

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov recently hinted at the upcoming launch of a visionOS app for Apple Vision Pro in an enticing teaser. According to 9to5Mac, the new app will offer a unique Telegram experience tailored to Apple’s latest hardware.

The app is designed to seamlessly integrate with Apple Vision Pro, featuring an immersive interface that adheres to visionOS design guidelines. Instead of a traditional tab bar, the new app will utilize a user-friendly sidebar for easy access to contacts, calls, chats, and settings, enhancing the user experience and aligning with Apple Vision Pro’s intuitive navigation.

Users can expect all the familiar Telegram features on the visionOS app, including media sharing, audio messages, and Stories. The app aims to provide a feature-rich environment, ensuring an optimal messaging experience on Apple Vision Pro.

One of the highlights of the visionOS app is its AR stickers, marking Telegram as a not-so-traditional app compared to others. Additionally, the app will feature a video player to enhance the multimedia experience, demonstrating Telegram’s readiness to roll out new AI-focused features in the coming months.

While specific details about the app are limited, its anticipated launch aligns with the release of Apple Vision Pro in the US in early 2024. Telegram is expected to fine-tune and optimize the visionOS app for a seamless integration with Apple’s cutting-edge hardware. Developers interested in exploring the potential of visionOS for their apps can utilize the visionOS SDK to build applications specifically tailored for Vision Pro.

On a separate note, Telegram recently blocked several channels allegedly connected to the Palestine-based terrorist group Hamas. This move came after the platform discovered that the channels were being used for communication with Hamas members. This development was prompted a letter from the Zachor Legal Institute urging Apple and Telegram to remove the channels associated with Hamas.

As Telegram pioneers its visionOS app for Apple Vision Pro, users can anticipate a customized messaging experience that maximizes the unique features of this innovative device.
