Oh okay.

@Sushubh Oh that's what you meant by "down or what". I get this connecting updating thing often on my phone. Just close the app (remove from recent apps screen) and open it again.

i do not like the new input field tbh. telegram also appear to be hijacking links like this one on their blog to open in their own renderer instead of in browser on desktop app.
