Cool, update finally! But can't start it - no proxy feature support :( Telegram is blocked in some countries :(

Fantastic seeing a new update, thank you! I'd like to contribute some translations, would you be able to set up Hosted Weblate (https://hosted.weblate.org) to let translators contribute more easily (and without a GitHub account)?

Need to check that. My time is severely limited therefore I can't promise it. GitHub would still be the preferred option for now.

Appears to be broken since yesterday - stuck on "updating content" status. Old GitHub issue indicating TDLib incompatibility due to server-side changes. Anyone else experiencing this?

Great app! When reading messeges the readed one get automatic status read ecept it a pull is the last message. Them there is always left one unteadef message.
..... and I'm really missing the audio call function. A lot of Telegram users are using it. Even support is done by this function. And to be honest Yollagram has not such a good usabillity than Fernschreiber.

Thank you, for great app! Please, may be not so hard to enable swipe left-right in user's photo's in account info? Now we need to open photo, then swipe back, then swipe to next preview, tap on it, open and again swipe back etc..

Love the app, and I'm using it on a daily basis - thanks a mil for Fernschreiber!
At the moment, there is only one feature I'm missing: folders! I've only discovered them recently in the desktop client, because I've joined an organisation that uses a lot of Telegram-channels to categorise communication, and being able to sort them into folders was a real improvement. Is this maybe a feature you might consider adding at some point in the future? (I have no idea how difficult that would be - maybe it's not feasible...)

That's one app to showcase for nice design and nice usability on SFOS! Great work!
Unfortunately you cannot get into groups from the browser, need the android app to do that. Can be solved?

I love it. But today I sent an audio notice and the receiving person couldn't hear anything. Sending such a message to myself works great.

That's due to a missing codec in SFOS. Haven't had time yet to build in the missing one in Fernschreiber.

What codec we have to install manually? Can you add it into next version please? :)

Great app. Only thing i'm missing currently is the ability to view all media of a conversation in a gallery form.

Do you think comments will be enabled in next releases. I like this app very much but lacks of comments reading and answering, as all the others based on tdlib
