3rd party client of Telegram

Nullgram

中文

Nullgram is an free and open source third-party Telegram client, based on Telegram, NekoX and Nekogram. the official source code for Telegram App for Android.

Why Nullgram

Due to the fragmentation of the NekoX and Nekogram communities, and the serious problems with the main developers of NekoX and Nekogram¹, I decided to make Nullgram to integrate both of their functions to avoid these problems.

Null used in computer programming for an uninitialized, undefined, empty, or meaningless value. In the name of Nullgram, the purpose is to express that there is no such bad things. Nullgram won't push FCM-Notification "nmsl"² or somethings like that to your phone, won't send ads³ to channels, won't compete maliciously⁴ or publish malicious rumors about competitors

I've encountered a bug!

First, make sure you have the latest version installed (check the channel, Play store versions usually have a delay).

Then, if the issue appears in the official Telegram client too, please submit it to the officials, (be careful not to show Nullgram in the description and screenshots, the official developers doesn't like us!).

Then, please detail your issue (ENGLISH ONLY), create an issue or submit it to our group with #bug.

Make sure using the issue template and writing the detailed version number I DO NOT KNOW WTF IS I HAVE BEEN USING THE LATEST VERSION

If you experience a crash, you can use logcat to catch the log (TAG: Nullgram ).
