Telegram experiments with Progressive Web Apps iOS Source code commit 8c54db6 revealed an experimental PWA support for Web Apps (Telegram Mini Apps) in the future. While TMAs are powerful enough, these are core features of PWAs: • Work offline or when connection is bad • Launch faster due to cache • Better support for system APIs like Camera, Microphone, Gallery, etc. • May potentially work in the background (when the Telegram client is active) • May become an icon on your home screen As of today, the commit has been reverted, but these are the possible use-cases that PWAs may bring: • Offline 2FA authenticator • Offline notes • Live events synced in the background (e.g. Sports) Share your thoughts on what Apps can benefit from PWA 👇
