I’m looking for a reliable Telegram android client that can save files or media marked as restricted. The official Telegram apps don’t allow this, so I was wondering if there are any alternative clients or tools that can handle restricted content. Any suggestions or experiences would be appreciated. ---

bgram does it, only issue is it is outdated, does not support the latest features like embedded messages, old vids and images will work fine, just save to bookmark then go to bookmark from side menu and save to gallery ---
