Telegram, the popular messaging service, has a Windows 10 desktop app available in the Windows Store according to Windows Central. The Telegram Desktop app is not a Windows 10 Universal app just yet, but you can still get app updates for the Telegram Desktop app through the Windows Store.

Over a year ago, Telegram’s CEO announced plans for a universal Windows 10 app, but it appears Telegram is still working on it.  For now, here is a list of the changes for the Telegram Desktop app (Version number: 1.0.26.0) for Windows 10:

  • Send MP4/MOV files as videos that will play right inside Telegram.
  • Click on the date in any chat to quickly jump to messages from a specific day.
  • Change your phone number in Settings.
  • Edit who can see your last seen time and who can add you to groups in Settings.
  • Edit your list of blocked users in Settings.
  • Bug fixes and other minor improvements.

Telegram Messenger is also available for Windows 10 Mobile users in the Windows Store.
