Earlier today, Telegram unexpectedly updated its official messaging client for Android in the Play Store. This upgrade takes advantage of Marshmallow’s new Fingerprint API by enabling users to log in to their Telegram account by simply placing their finger on the sensor of a supported device.

The full changelog can be seen below:

  • Android 6.0 support
  • Now on Tap
  • Direct Share
  • Fingerprint support for Passcodes

To install the update, simply open up the Play Store, toggle the hamburger menu by swiping in from the left-hand side of the screen, select ‘My Apps’ and click on ‘Telegram’, then hit the update button. Alternatively, you can hit the link below to initiate the download on your smartphone from the Web.
