Are you excited about the latest Telegram Desktop features, but your Linux client is out of date? Do you need to know how to update Telegram to the latest and greatest on your Linux PC but can\u2019t figure it out? We can help! Follow along as we go over how to update Telegram on Linux!<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

Ubuntu update instructions<\/h2>\n

To update the Telegram desktop application on Ubuntu, you will need to make use of the\u00a0apt update\u00a0<\/strong>command. Open up a terminal window by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0<\/strong>on the desktop, or search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu and open it that way.<\/p>\n

Once the terminal window is open, use the\u00a0apt update\u00a0<\/strong>command to refresh Ubuntu\u2019s software sources (and check for updates). This command should run quickly, and it\u2019ll tell you when updates are available.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt update\n<\/pre>\n
When the\u00a0apt update\u00a0<\/strong>command is complete, run the\u00a0apt upgrade\u00a0<\/strong>command. It\u2019ll install all of your updates, including the Telegram desktop updates. Please note that you should close Telegram before updating.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt upgrade\n<\/pre>\n
After installing the updates, re-launch Telegram, and your Ubuntu PC will have the latest features. If Telegram was unable to update, consider re-installing it instead with the command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt install telegram-desktop --reinstall\n<\/pre>\n
Debian update instructions<\/h2>\n
Debian Linux does have Telegram Desktop available in its software sources, but the bad news is that it\u2019s woefully out of date. If you want a newer release, uninstall the Debian Linux version of Telegram. Then, follow the Flatpak instructions instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Arch Linux update instructions<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re using Arch Linux, you probably already have the latest installation of Telegram installed. However, if you are new to Arch and do not know how to update, here\u2019s what to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n
First, open up a terminal window on the Arch Linux desktop by pressing\u00a0Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0<\/strong>on the keyboard or searching for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu. Once it is open, use the pacman -Syyu\u00a0<\/strong>command.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0pacman -Syyu\u00a0<\/strong>command will check for updates, refresh package sources, and upgrade your system all at once. Arch Linux updates often, so you may get a lot of packages alongside Telegram updates.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -Syyuu\n<\/pre>\n
If you do not see Telegram updates, you may need to re-install the app. To do that on Arch Linux, do the following command.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S telegram-desktop\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora update instructions<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Fedora Linux always gets updates right away, so Telegram should always be up to date. However, if you require new Telegram Desktop features and haven\u2019t updated Fedora in a long while, you\u2019ll have to update.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To update on Fedora, start by launching a terminal window on the Linux desktop. You can do this by pressing\u00a0Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0<\/strong>on the keyboard or by searching for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once the terminal window is open, use the\u00a0dnf update\u00a0<\/strong>command to refresh Fedora\u2019s software sources and install the latest patches and updates. Keep in mind; this may take a bit of time as Dnf can be slow.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dnf update <\/pre>\n
Don\u2019t see any Telegram updates in Fedora? You may not have Telegram installed. To fix it, you can re-install it with:<\/p>\n
\nsudo dnf install telegram-desktop\n<\/pre>\n
OpenSUSE update instructions<\/h2>\n
OpenSUSE enjoys relatively new updates to the Telegram Desktop application. As a result, you\u2019ll likely have the latest Telegram features already set up. That said, if you haven\u2019t updated your system in a while and need to update it, here\u2019s how to do it.<\/p>\n
First, open up a terminal window on the OpenSUSE desktop. You can open it by pressing\u00a0Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0<\/strong>on the keyboard or by searching for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu. Once the terminal window is open, use the zypper update\u00a0<\/strong>command to install all of the updates available for the system.<\/p>\n
\nsudo zypper update\n<\/pre>\n
Upon installing the updates, Telegram should have the latest features. If, for some reason, you don\u2019t have the Telegram Desktop on your OpenSUSE Linux system, you can use the zypper install\u00a0<\/strong>command below to re-install it.<\/p>\n
\nsudo zypper install telegram-desktop\n<\/pre>\n
Flatpak update instructions<\/h2>\n
The Telegram Desktop app comes in the Flathub app store, which makes it available for easy installation with nearly any Linux user who has access to Flatpak. If you haven\u2019t updated your Flatpak in a while, and are missing out on the latest Telegram features, here\u2019s what to do.<\/p>\n
First, open up a terminal window on the Linux desktop by pressing\u00a0Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0<\/strong>or by searching for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu. Then, use the\u00a0flatpak update\u00a0<\/strong>command to refresh Flatpak and install the latest updates.<\/p>\n
