Do you want to be the first to test new Telegram features? Then you can sign up for the beta version of the chat app. We explain how to do this in a few simple steps.

Telegram is becoming more and more popular and the app is therefore undergoing substantial development. Recently, the beta version of Telegram took over two commonly used WhatsApp functions. Companies then use such a beta app to test new functions and solve any problems before the functions are transferred to the stable version. Telegram also has such a beta version and anyone can install it.

• Sign up for this channel in the stable Telegram app. That is the Telegram Beta channel where you can find all the news.
• In this channel you will find all the latest beta versions including for Mac, iOS and desktop. Look for the last message in which Telegram Android is listed and download the Beta.
• Install the downloaded apk file as usual.

There are two other options for getting the beta version of Telegram. You can immediately open the link that uses the Telegram Beta channel on your phone and download the latest version there. You can also go to APK Mirror for the latest Telegram beta.

Once the trial version is installed on your phone, you can uninstall the other Telegram app. Telegram also advises every beta tester to keep the regular app on the phone. Updates to the beta version are shown in the app itself.
