Challegram to become Telegram X for Android?

History of Challegram

Vyacheslav Krylov started development of Challegram at the end of April 2015 to participate in a Telegram contest in which he won the first prize. One of the best things about Telegram for Android is that it is open source and anyone can download the source code and compile it in Android Studio easily with the help of guidance provided by Telegram itself. Not surprisingly, that client uses MTProto, which is the protocol officially established by Telegram. But Durov organized challenges to create experimental applications for implementing another Telegram library called TDLib. TDLib has many advantages like not having to deal with things like low-level encryption, transport layer, local database, etc. MTProto, as mentioned before, is an encryption protocol and is used in all apps or code that use official Telegram API.

Data saving – Challegram has smart data saving options with an ability to pause all downloads when you suddenly switch from WiFi to Mobile Data or Roaming.
