Update strategy
Telegram Desktop performs background delta updates during idle time. If your corporate firewall blocks the update endpoint, schedule a monthly reinstall using the installer on this page - the fresh binary carries the current signing certificate and the matching build fingerprint.
- - Enable Settings > Advanced > Ask before quit to avoid stopping updates.
- - Corporate machines can pin a WSUS-friendly install path with `/quiet` flags.
- - Rolling back a beta is safe: sign in again and the cloud history reappears.
