Telegram Desktop Matures to v1.0 For a while now, Telegram has offered the choice of two different versions for using the service to chat on your Mac — a native Mac app simply called “Telegram” and a cross-platform version called Telegram Desktop that shares its code and works across Windows and Linux platforms as well.
