The official open-source code for the Telegram messenger app on Android, written in Java. It allows developers to build their own Telegram clients using the Telegram API and MTProto protocol.

- create a fork of Telegram with custom features
- integrate Telegram messaging into an Android app
- learn MTProto protocol implementation in Java
When to choose
- you want to build or fork an Android Telegram client
- you need a reference implementation of the Telegram API/MTProto
- you want to contribute to or audit the official Android app
When to avoid
- you need a Telegram client for iOS, desktop, or web
- you only want to send messages via a bot or API without a full app
