APP OVERVIEW

What is Telegram Web and who is it for?

Telegram Web is a browser-based social application available from web.telegram.org. Its public page and manifest confirm standalone display mode, an app-style window, system sharing, install screenshots, and a service worker, and 1 publisher-declared screenshot. The scan detected a service worker; actual offline behaviour still depends on the service implementation. PWAs.app generated this overview from the latest first-party scan evidence rather than copying a third-party directory description.

Telegram Web is a social PWA with a current technical score of 94/100.
