Alfagram FAQ

Answers to the most common questions about Alfagram.

General

What is Alfagram?

Alfagram is an unofficial client app for Telegram. It is built on Telegram’s open-source code, so the interface and all core features are familiar. On top of that it adds ghost mode, saved deleted messages, edit history and ad filters.

Is this the official Telegram app?

No. Alfagram is an independent project and is not affiliated with Telegram. The app works through the official Telegram API, so your messages travel through Telegram’s servers as usual.

Does Alfagram cost anything?

No, Alfagram is completely free. There are no in-app purchases or subscriptions.

Can I sign in with my existing Telegram account?

Yes. Enter your phone number and the confirmation code arrives in your official Telegram app or by SMS. After signing in, all your chats, channels and folders load automatically.

Installing & updating

How do I install it?

  1. Download the APK from the download page.
  2. If your phone asks, allow your browser to install apps from unknown sources.
  3. Open the file and tap “Install”.

How do I update to a new version?

Download the new APK and install it over the old one. Your account, chats and saved messages are kept. We announce new versions in our Telegram channel.

Which Android versions are supported?

Android 6.0 and newer. The app ships as a universal APK and runs on almost every modern smartphone.

How can I check the file is genuine?

The download page lists the SHA-256 checksum of each version. Compare it with the checksum of the file you downloaded — if they match, the file hasn’t been modified.

Features

How does ghost mode work?

With ghost mode on, the app doesn’t send Telegram’s servers the signals about your activity: read receipts, “online” and “typing…” statuses, story views. Each option can be switched on separately in the app settings.

Where are deleted messages stored?

Only on your phone, in the app’s local database. They are never sent to any server. If you clear the app’s data or uninstall it, the saved messages are removed too.

Will the sender know I saw their deleted message?

No. The message had already reached your device before it was deleted — Alfagram simply doesn’t erase it. No signal is sent to the other person.

Note that the app needs to have received the message before it was deleted.

Safety

Could my account get banned?

Alfagram works through the official Telegram API and never passes your account data anywhere. Still, features like ghost mode don’t fully comply with Telegram’s rules for third-party apps, so no unofficial client can give a full guarantee. You use the app at your own discretion.

Does Alfagram collect my data?

No. The app doesn’t send us your messages, contacts or account data. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Are Alfagram APKs from other sites safe?

We can’t guarantee that. Only download the app from alfagram.uz or our official Telegram channel. Fake APKs can steal your login details.
