💬 @Durov: “The @telegram update with videocalls is supposed to go live today, on the 7th birthday of the app. The only reason you are unable to download the updated version is Apple's failure to take a few minutes to review it. We sent them the app for review a few days ago.”

Telegram is 7 years old today – and we have a present for you. Yes, it's Video Calls. 🎁

Enjoy the update while we go back to doing the three most important things: adding new features, standing up for what we believe in and animating emoji.
