HushTelegram v0.0.6 has 18 patches for telegram.org's Telegram 12.10.6 (org.telegram.messenger.web), up from 4 in v0.0.4. Every patch is selected by default, and each feature has its own switch in HushTelegram settings.

What's new

  • Hide Stories hides the story bar above your chats, the story rings on avatars and the Post Story button, and Telegram stops fetching the story list. Stories on a profile and your archive are still there when you open them.
  • Hide recommendations hides similar channels and bots.
  • Hide Premium, gifts and Stars takes Premium, Stars, Business and Send a Gift out of Settings, and hides profile Gifts tabs and the channel Gift button.
  • Hide promotional banners hides the Premium, birthday and low Stars balance banners in the chat list. Account security notices still show.
  • Hide sponsored proxy channel hides the channel a proxy sponsors from your chat list and folders.
  • Hide popular apps hides the Popular apps list in search's Apps tab.
  • Quiet contacts nag stops the Contacts tab asking for contacts access again once you've said no.
  • Disable call debug upload stops the call debug reports and log uploads Telegram's server asks for.
  • Disable analytics now also keeps the Premium screen reports on your phone.
  • Open links externally opens ordinary web links in your browser. Telegram links and logins open the way they always have.
  • Five new switches start off, so nothing changes until you turn them on. Strip link tracking takes utm tags, gclid and fbclid off links you open or share. Disable draft link previews stops Telegram fetching previews for messages you haven't sent yet. Gallery camera on tap keeps the attachment gallery from starting the camera until you tap the camera tile. Disable chat swipe actions keeps a sideways swipe from archiving, muting, pinning or deleting a chat. Holiday look all year keeps Telegram's New Year snow falling over the chat list and chat backgrounds.

Install

  1. Install Morphe Manager 1.32.0 or newer.
  2. Add HushTelegram as a patch source: https://morphe.software/add-source?github=SysAdminDoc%2FHushTelegram
  3. Download Telegram 12.10.6 from telegram.org, version code 71129, and patch it. The patched app needs Android 9 or newer.
  4. Coming from v0.0.4? Patch again and install over it with the same Morphe Manager signing key. New to HushTelegram? Uninstall the stock Telegram first, since Android won't put one over the other. Your chats come back when you sign in, but secret chats don't. Back up Morphe Manager's signing key after your first patch, you'll need it for every update.
  5. For notifications, open Telegram's Settings, then Notifications and Sounds, and turn on Keep-Alive Service and Background Connection. Google's push service only delivers to Telegram's own signed build, so a patched Telegram relies on its own connection.

The .mpp download is a patch bundle, not a Telegram APK. Installation instructions.

Validation

512 runtime tests and 232 patch tests passed locally, along with both Android lints and the release script checks. All 18 patches applied without forcing to Telegram 12.10.6. The dependency advisory check passed. On a signed-in Android 16 phone the patched app ran with every patch, and the New Year snow came and went with its switch.
