Terms and Conditions

Last updated: August 27, 2026

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of Tele Messenger ("Tele", the "App"). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Tele, you agree to these Terms.

Tele is an unofficial third-party Telegram client. It is based on Telegram's open-source iOS codebase and uses the official Telegram API / MTProto architecture to access Telegram services. Tele is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Telegram FZ-LLC.

1. Nature of Tele Messenger

Tele is a client application, not an independent replacement for Telegram's messaging service. Telegram operates and controls Telegram accounts, cloud messaging, account administration, and Telegram's core infrastructure.

Tele does not create, ban, suspend, restore, or administer Telegram user accounts. Account restrictions, suspensions, bans, restorations, and other Telegram account decisions are controlled by Telegram.

2. Telegram Services and API

3. Open-Source Software

Tele is based on Telegram's open-source iOS project. Portions of the App are subject to applicable open-source licenses. Nothing in these Terms is intended to restrict rights expressly granted under those licenses.

4. Eligibility and User Responsibility

You are responsible for using Tele and your Telegram account in accordance with applicable law and Telegram's requirements. You are also responsible for securing your device and account access.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use Tele to violate applicable law, access another person's account without authorization, distribute malware or phishing content, engage in unlawful abuse, or intentionally interfere with the operation of Tele, Telegram, or related services.

6. Standard Telegram Client Features

Because Tele is based on Telegram's open-source iOS client, it includes standard Telegram client functionality provided through that architecture. This may include messaging, media handling, account settings, themes, and support for configuring and using MTProto proxies.

The inclusion of these functions in Tele does not mean that Tele independently operates the underlying Telegram services or proxy protocol.

7. Additional Tele Features

The Telegramlite Team may add optional features beyond the standard Telegram client functionality, such as chat-background collections, utilities, media or editing tools, WebView-based content, entertainment features, and other convenience tools.

These Tele-specific features may be added, changed, or removed as the App evolves.

8. Public Proxy List

Tele may include an optional list of publicly available third-party proxy servers as a convenience feature. This list is separate from the standard MTProto proxy configuration functionality inherited from Telegram's client architecture.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, Tele does not operate or control the third-party proxy servers shown in the public proxy list and does not guarantee their availability, speed, reliability, security, ownership, or continued operation.

You decide whether to use a third-party proxy and are responsible for complying with applicable laws and third-party terms.

9. Third-Party Content and WebView Services

Some optional Tele features may display external websites, third-party content, or other resources through WebView or links. Tele does not control every third-party service. Your use of those services may be subject to separate terms and privacy policies.

10. Analytics and Advertising

Tele may use Google Analytics for Firebase, Google AdMob, and AppLovin as described in our Privacy Policy.

Tele does not intentionally provide private Telegram message content, contacts, or private media content to analytics or advertising providers for analytics or advertising purposes.

11. Intellectual Property

Telegram trademarks, names, logos, services, and Telegram-owned materials remain the property of their respective owners. Tele does not claim ownership of Telegram's services or trademarks.

Tele-specific branding and original material created by the Telegramlite Team may be protected by applicable law, subject to applicable open-source licenses.

12. Regional Availability and Legal Compliance

Tele may not be distributed or supported in every country or region. Availability may vary because of legal, regulatory, operational, Telegram-platform, or App Store requirements. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the App is lawful in your location.

13. Availability and Changes

We may update, modify, add, or remove Tele-specific features. We do not control Telegram's infrastructure and cannot guarantee that Telegram services, APIs, or accounts will remain continuously available or compatible with Tele.

14. Telegram Account and Service Availability

Tele does not control, suspend, restrict, ban, restore, or manage Telegram user accounts.

Telegram accounts and Telegram's core messaging infrastructure are operated and controlled by Telegram. Any account restrictions, suspensions, bans, restorations, or service limitations are determined by Telegram according to its own terms, policies, and systems.

Tele cannot guarantee the availability, restoration, or continued operation of any Telegram account or Telegram service.

15. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Tele is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not warrant uninterrupted operation, compatibility with every future Telegram or iOS change, or uninterrupted availability of third-party services.

Nothing in these Terms excludes rights or warranties that cannot lawfully be excluded.

16. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Telegramlite Team will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or similar losses arising from use of or inability to use Tele.

Tele is not responsible for Telegram service outages, Telegram account actions, third-party proxy failures, third-party websites or content, or changes made by Telegram or other external providers. These limitations apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

17. Privacy

Tele's handling of information is described in the Tele Messenger Privacy Policy. Data processed by Telegram is separately governed by Telegram's Privacy Policy.

18. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms to reflect changes to Tele, applicable law, third-party services, or technical requirements. The latest version will display its update date at the top of this page.
