If you don't want to disable auto updates, you may want to try third-party apps like Unigram alongside the official version.

#Telegram for desktop update
You can download it from the official website or the GitHub page, or let your app auto update to the latest version. The issue has been fixed in a new update, Telegram 4.3.3. Don't forget to disable the auto update setting that I mentioned above.Īccording to a comment by one of the developers, the problem only affected the 32-bit version of the program, the 64-bit version did not have this bug. You will have to uninstall the current version of the app, and reinstall the old one. You can find the Telegram 4.3.1 binaries for Windows, Linux and macOS at the GitHub page. The only workaround for Telegram not playing GIFs and videos, is to downgrade to the previous version. Workaround for Telegram not playing GIFs and videos Users have already filed an issue regarding the broken autoplay handling on Telegram's GitHub page, and a bug report has been submitted on its support portal. So you may miss out on bug fixes, security patches, and feature updates. Warning: You will have to check for app updates manually if you disable the automatic update setting. You can skip the update by deleting the update files that are located in the temp folder under the "Telegram\tupdate" directory. it downloads the new version even before you sign in to your account and disable the setting. This will happen in new installs too, as the app is set to update to new versions automatically, i.e. If you see the "Update Telegram" button at the bottom of your chat list, it means that Telegram has automatically downloaded the update. Open the application's Settings, go to the Advanced section, and toggle the "Automatic Updates" option. If you have not yet updated to Telegram 4.3.2 on your computer, and don't want your app to be updated automatically, click on the hamburger menu button in the top left corner of the interface. The feature stills work properly in the mobile apps.
#Telegram for desktop portable
This autoplay and auto download issue also affects the portable version of Telegram, which is the one I prefer to use. This can become a bit of a chore, especially if your friends or groups share a lot of media. Now you will have to click on each photo to fetch the media. This problem isn't limited to GIFs and videos, it also extends to the automatic downloading of photos. Note: Animated stickers and emojis are not affected by this bug. You have to click on the media to start the playback, and if you click on a second GIF, the first one stops playing. So every time you send or receive an animated GIF or a video, Telegram just displays a preview of it with a play button on top. The data and storage settings don't seem to affect the behavior either. The autoplay feature does not work in Telegram's desktop app, even if the setting for it is enabled. I wasn't alone, several users have reported that they are facing the same problem. I noticed the issue right after updating the app yesterday. (for example, a link back to their website).Telegram for desktop does not autoplay GIFs and videos
