02 / Edit history
See what changed.
Open previous states of an edited message instead of losing the original wording.
Alternative Telegram client for iOS
Jerkgram
Telegram, with more control.
Keep more of the context Telegram normally lets disappear — deleted messages, edit history, recovered media and more.
Jerkgram · iOS · independent client
Message recovery
Deleted doesn’t mean gone.
If Jerkgram already received a message, deleting it does not have to erase its local context. The recovered state stays readable and usable.
JERKGRAM / RECOVERYBEFORE
More than recovery
Context survives.
Jerkgram keeps Telegram familiar, then adds the missing layer: what changed, what disappeared, and what still belongs to the conversation.
03 / Recovered replies
Reply to what was deleted.
Reply after a message has already been deleted and recovered. The preserved quote remains attached to your response.
04 / Recovered media
Not only text.
Downloaded photos, captions and reply context can remain available after deletion.
JERKGRAM / MEDIARECOVERED
Interface
Familiar. Not ordinary.
Jerkgram stays recognizably Telegram and exposes its own controls in one clear place. This is the real settings surface — no decorative reconstruction.
05 / Closed gifts
Closed for sale. Still sendable.
Some gifts disappear from Telegram’s storefront before the server stops serving them.
When Telegram’s server still returns and accepts a closed gift, Jerkgram can surface it and send it. Availability depends on the server.

06 / One-time media
View once doesn’t have to disappear.
Jerkgram puts Save Image directly inside the disappearing-photo viewer, so a one-time photo can be kept locally.
ONE-TIME MEDIAVIEW ONCE
07 / Bot accounts
Log in as the bot.
Jerkgram lets bot accounts live inside Telegram like an actual session — switch accounts, open chats and talk as the bot itself.
Telegram’s server-side bot limitations still apply.

Before you install
A few things to know.
These are current distribution limitations, not hidden fine print. Know them before replacing your main Telegram client.
Push notifications are currently unavailable.
This is due to the way the app is currently distributed and signed.
Jerkgram cannot currently be installed alongside the official Telegram app.
Both apps use the same application identifier, so the official Telegram app needs to be removed before installing Jerkgram.
Keep another Telegram client installed as a backup.
For example, Swiftgram can stay installed alongside Jerkgram, receive notifications, and give you a fallback if an early Jerkgram release temporarily behaves unexpectedly.
Jerkgram is an independent project and is not affiliated with Swiftgram. It is simply one possible backup client.
Installation
From download to iPhone.
Download the current Stable
Use the direct IPA download above or the matching official release in @JerkgramApp.
Install with your preferred signing method
The exact signing flow depends on the method you already use on iOS.

Questions, answered.
Is Jerkgram official Telegram?
No. Jerkgram is an independent Telegram client and is not affiliated with Telegram.
Where is the Stable build?
The Download section resolves the newest Stable IPA from GitHub Releases. The same release can also be mirrored in @JerkgramApp.
Do push notifications work?
Not currently. Push notifications are unavailable because of the present distribution and signing setup.
Can Jerkgram stay installed with official Telegram?
Not currently. They use the same application identifier, so official Telegram must be removed before installing Jerkgram.
Why do you recommend a backup Telegram client?
A second client can provide notifications and a fallback during the first releases. Swiftgram is one option that can be installed alongside Jerkgram. Jerkgram is independent and is not affiliated with Swiftgram.
Where do beta builds go?
Beta testing and feedback are handled through Jerkgram Community.
Does this website use analytics?
Yes. The site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics for aggregate traffic and performance telemetry. It does not use cookies or localStorage for tracking and does not create cross-site user profiles.
