A quiet late-night post. Shows the inset media card floating on black, which is the first thing that says Telegram rather than Instagram.
Use this templateYour own story, so the Reply Privately field is replaced by a view count. The state people forget exists until they post something.
Use this templateThe blue header with the portrait inside it, presence written out, and the @username that is the real identity.
Use this templateThe white tick on blue that Telegram uses, and a presence line reading online rather than a last-seen time.
Use this templateOne person messages the wrong thread. Everyone panics.
Use this templateQuoting is how a group stops being a jumble, and Telegram puts the quote inside the bubble behind a coloured bar.
Use this templateThe live share that ends in an hour, and an article sent with a comment above it. Two attachments that carry their own second line.
Use this templateA poll sticker over the photo, with the reply row and forward arrow below the card. The busiest the screen gets.
Use this templateTelegram's own layout: the other person full screen, your self-view in the corner, four encryption emoji, and words under every button.
Use this templateThe two things only Telegram puts on a chat list: folders you name yourself with their own unread counts, and a row of ringed avatars over the top.
Use this templateThe opener every crypto scam uses, and the exact point it asks for money. For explainers and training.
Use this templateNo bio, no photo, a long-ago last seen. What an abandoned or throwaway account actually looks like.
Use this templateNo video either side, so the emoji key and the duration carry the screen. Good for showing what the app does with a bad connection.
Use this templateTelegram keeps the number and drops the colour on a muted chat, so the badges go grey rather than away. Made for explaining what muting actually does.
Use this templateTelegram words this row its own way — Incoming Call, Cancelled Call, title-cased — which is most of why a Telegram call log looks like Telegram.
Use this templateMic off and camera stopped, so both labels flip to Unmute and Start Video. The state a long call spends most of its time in.
Use this templateA named folder selected rather than All, story row off. What a Telegram list looks like to somebody who has actually organised theirs.
