What Luckgram adds

Each feature is marked with where it stands. Features in development are not in the app yet, and we don't promise release dates.

In development

More accounts in one app

Today Luckgram follows Telegram's standard limit for accounts on one device. We are making room for many more, so personal, work and community accounts can sit side by side and you switch between them from Settings.

In development

Double Bottom: a second passcode with its own view

Set a second passcode that opens Luckgram with only the accounts you pick. Your usual passcode still opens everything, so you decide what shows up when someone else is looking.

In development

Translate what you write before you send it

Write in the language you think in, then translate the text in the input bar and send it in your contact's language. You see the result before anything is sent.

Telegram Premium; free version in development

Read voice messages instead of playing them

Turn a voice message into text with one tap, handy in a meeting or on a noisy train. Telegram offers this with Premium; a free version for Luckgram is being built.

In development

Send gallery videos as round video messages

Pick a video you already recorded and send it as a round video message, the same way as one you film in the chat.

In development

Catch up on a busy chat with a summary

Coming back to hundreds of unread messages? Get the decisions, dates and open questions in a few lines before you scroll.

Questions

More answers in the Help Center.

Is Luckgram an official Telegram app?

No. Luckgram is an independent app built from the open-source Telegram apps for iOS and Android. It is not made by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Telegram.

Can I use my existing Telegram account?

Yes. Sign in with your phone number. Your cloud chats, contacts and channels load from Telegram as they do in any Telegram app.

Is Luckgram free?

Yes. Telegram Premium and Telegram Stars are Telegram's own services and are sold and managed by Telegram.

Why isn't Luckgram on the App Store or Google Play?

Luckgram is currently distributed through GitHub Releases. The Download page always links to the latest build.

How do I install Luckgram on an iPhone?

The iOS build is an unsigned IPA. Sign it with a tool such as Sideloadly or AltStore, or with your own Apple developer certificate, then install it. The install guide walks through each step.

Which Android phones are supported?

Android 6.0 or later on a 64-bit ARM phone (arm64-v8a), which covers almost every phone sold in recent years. Allow installs from your browser or file manager when asked.

Where are the extra features?

The features listed under In development are being built. Until they ship, Luckgram works like the Telegram app it is based on. No release dates are promised.
