I have a better chance of owning lake Michigan that happening.

Telegram once got an update which had something like "Enjoy enhanced VoiceOver support." in its changes/updates/version history/release notes or whatever. I assume they just deemed it was enough and thus decided to take accessibility off their agenda entirely.

Not here to fight but, contrary to the assertions many have made on this site, telegram is just one example of an app that is natively accessible with talkback on android. Of course it should be accessible on all platforms.

You don't even have the level of accessibility on Windows that you have on iOS. This is why we have to use a third-party client, Unigram. Telegram can be one of those apps accessible on Android and inaccessible on other platforms, including iOS.
