Latest reviews
- (2024-10-20) golfman3664: This doesn't work. I have an app on my phone that works fine but the Chrome OS app doesn't work.
- (2024-10-12) Marcus Kirk: This app doesn't work at all to open/start an account. Garbage.
- (2024-05-02) Rupert Whitehead: Unfortunately it doesn't work. It installs prompts for a phone number (which I've double checked is correct from my account) and then it can't proceed from there. It's also interesting that this is not really promoted from Telegram's site. Recommend chromebook users go to https://web.telegram.org/k/ instead and Telegram remove this from the Chrome web store.
- (2024-04-19) Fahim Ahmed: why don't work it.
- (2024-03-13) conor rieling: don't work all all
- (2024-02-13) Samson Allal Kartaoui Jardine: Doesn't work, yet!
- (2024-02-09) Dave Mack: does not work, please FIX!
- (2024-02-01) Matthew Sauer: It asks for the phone number associated with your account to log in, which is unsurprising since that is how you usually log in to Telegram. Its not like I am putting in the wrong number either, I am literally looking at my Telegram settings on my phone as I am attempting to log in and it is refusing to do anything. Not even a "We could not sign you in" notification. Just stays on the login screen every time I click next. This app does not work. You can not log in.
- (2024-01-16) The Babaa: I have a Chromebook where is the app for chromebook
- (2023-11-09) angela bunting: going round in circles trying to create an account, it keeps saying some rubbish about keys again and again, it's meant to be a Chromebook app but is useless
- (2023-11-05) Тимофій Тіторенко: do not work.
- (2023-10-24) Ms. Di: Just like the other... it would not generate a code after you input your number. Please fix this thing!
- (2023-08-23) F N: Often Dev SHOULD describe how use it ;-( Simply open https://web.telegram.org/k/
- (2023-07-25) Lisa Brown: It does not work. It asks for your phone number, then asks you if the number is correct...and nothing happens. It does not matter how many times you try to input your number, you get the same message: "is this number correct". Don't bother downloading it, it's junk.
- (2023-06-01) Luca Gentile (Cyclorbit): It does not work. it constantly asks if the phone number is correct.
- (2023-03-24) William Keaton: Will not log in. I enter my phone number and nothing happens. No use at all.
- (2023-03-08) Blake: Doesnt get past entering your phone number. It just says "if this phone number correct" and if it is and you type yes it just opens the same message again
- (2023-03-05) Nick Knutson: It was good when it worked, but it refuses to load now.
- (2023-01-19) Sasha Voklam: does not work(
- (2023-01-08) Asif Shah: does not work
- (2022-12-23) Radiant: doesn't work
- (2022-06-23) O V: Attention! Here's the really best workaround as of today: To work with Telegram on your desktop, head over to webK.telegram.org then login with QR code. After that, at the right hand-side of Chrome omni bar (address bar) click the computer with arrow-down icon to install that site as a Chrome application. Voilá! You've got your Telegram working in Chrome as an app! :) Don't thank me.
- (2022-04-01) Tiffin Filion: Doesn't work. I enter my login details and it just refreshes on the same login screen.
- (2022-03-05) Josh M: entering phone number doesnt work.
- (2022-02-07) Andy Evans: Can't get past "Keys are only generated once this can take a few minutes". Never been able to login so what's the point of keeping it installed?
- (2022-02-05) Thangarasu: I can't even login. I entered country, code and phone number when i give next, it just comes to the same page. I uninstalled and reinstalled it but it is never working
- (2022-02-05) Annick Mekolle: Not able to login. Asked me to put in my phone number and asked if it was correct. It ends right there. No further steps :(
- (2022-01-23) Shelby Zoch: its perfect on my phone but when i try to sign in on my computer it does nothing
- (2022-01-06) Anthony Tumiwa: perfect. i am chrome OS and Firefox OS user, the creator looks serious by releasing the app for infamous OS edit: does not work anymore for chromebook
- (2021-08-11) Jennifer Rauch (NaritaCoree): have to download videos, audio and even gifs to view them, cannot view animated stickers. if you're looking for a telegram app for chrome theres one literally called "Telegram for Chrome" that does all of those things and actually allows for the dark color pallet instead of just white and blue. Basically this version feels like skype- it sucks
- (2021-07-26) Shawn Chang: Keeps showing "Incorrect phone number" but I successfully logged in the iPhone app with the same phone number, doesn't make sense
- (2021-06-24) 黃璽晉: better than Line
- (2021-06-17) PO-CHEN KUO: stuck and retry
- (2021-05-24) Khola Akhunzada: doesnt even open ...it doesnt even go past generating keys....very unhappy with the experience
- (2021-03-01) Hannah Picka: It's literally the same as Telegram Web and I still can't see certain attachments. Fairly disappointed
- (2021-02-06) Harman Singh: All good apart from no Night Mode (hence lost one star), so not truly like the Desktop version on Chromebook. Tried the Play store app on Chromebook but that displays like mobile, not desktop version, so no side by side chats and chat contents.
- (2021-01-24) Greg Chard: Works very well!
- (2021-01-23) Roca Koo: Still a decent web app, though it's waaaaay overdue for an update. Some of the newer features are not supported, unsurprisingly mind you - since it was last updated 2019.
- (2020-12-29) Spark Hart: I guess it work but it doesnt fit the window properly which makes it unusable. i have had to resort to the android version which doesn't work as well with a mouse.
- (2020-12-08) Amsale Taddese: I do not open for me
- (2020-11-22) Jinna Kiisuo: Severely outdated compared to all other clients, doesn't even have any theme support so I hope you enjoy white & blue.
- (2020-10-27) Rajeshwari thirakala: same web version with added window manager
- (2020-10-08) saltyspin Chrome: used to work fine, now jus stuck in generating keys and not loading the screen for code to login
- (2020-07-29) Muhammad Saif ur Rehman: I dont know how to open it in browser... It doesn't work in desktop as well. I am very angry
- (2020-07-28) Brijesh Yadav: BEST
- (2020-07-05) Deepak Kumar: worst experience
- (2020-06-25) Sydney NIU: Cannot login in,sucks
- (2020-04-16) Zdeněk Hrabáč: No chance to login. :-(
- (2020-04-15) Steven Garcia: Better on WIndows and iOS (and I assume Android). Can't figure out how to archive a chat, delete a chat, customize colors, etc.
- (2020-04-10) Annie Leahy: This is awful. I tried to uninstall it and it wouldn't work. Now it is stuck on my chrome book. I would never reccomend this to anyone. Terrible!!!
