Alfagram features

Every Telegram feature is still here. Below is what Alfagram adds on top.

Privacy

Ghost mode lets you control the signals your activity sends. Each option can be switched on or off on its own.

No read receipts

You read their messages; they still see them as unread.

“Online” status hidden

Even with the app open, others don’t see you online.

No “typing…”

The other person won’t know you’re writing a reply, however long it is.

Anonymous story views

You won’t appear in the story’s viewer list.

Offline after sending

Sending a message puts you online for a moment, then straight back offline.

Mark read on reply

Optionally, messages in a chat are marked as read when you reply.

Message history

Changes in your chats are recorded on your device, so no message vanishes without a trace.

Keep deleted messages

A message deleted by the other person stays in your chat, marked “deleted”.

Edit history

Tap an edited message to see each earlier version with its time.

View-once media

Photos and videos sent as “view once” are kept after you open them.

On your device only

Everything saved lives in your phone’s storage. Clear the app’s data and it’s gone too.

Filters & ads

Your feed only shows what you actually want to see.

Ad-free channels

Sponsored messages under channel posts are not shown at all.

Hide blocked users

Messages from blocked users in groups are removed from your feed.

Keyword filters

Add a word or a regular expression and matching messages are hidden.

Per-chat rules

Apply filters to all chats or only to selected groups and channels.

Foundation

Alfagram is built on Telegram’s open-source code and works through the official API.

Official Telegram API

The app connects straight to Telegram’s servers, with no servers in between.

Full sync

Sign in to your existing account, and your chats, channels and folders are all there.

Secret chats

End-to-end encrypted secret chats and calls work just like in Telegram.

Regular updates

We announce new versions first in our Telegram channel.
