General

App-wide accessibility, display, privacy, and system settings. Five sections, in the order they appear on the screen.

Enable blindGram accessibility enhancements — the master switch. Off, the app behaves like ordinary Telegram and nearly every other setting in the area stops applying. On by default.
Improve text field accessibility — makes text fields report themselves more completely to the screen reader.
Announce the number of selected items — when you select messages, the new count is spoken as it changes.
Announce when someone joins a voice or video chat — a spoken notice when a participant joins.
Vibrate when a switch is turned on or off — a short buzz confirms a checkbox or switch changed, so you do not have to re-read the row.
Force Change Language — applies the chosen app language in places Telegram would otherwise keep the system language.

Hide chat and message visuals — fast render mode. Message and chat rows collapse to a small stub and are not drawn. Nothing spoken is lost, and moving through a long chat becomes noticeably faster.
Hide and stop animated emoji — stops animated emoji from being drawn and animated, which saves battery and further speeds up long chats.
Announce exact member and view counts — reads the exact number instead of Telegram's rounded form.
Use the Shamsi (Jalali) calendar — dates are spoken and written in the Jalali calendar.
Hide the gift button — removes the Gift button from the profile actions, the message box in a private chat, and a channel's bottom buttons. A chat already open keeps its buttons until you open it again.
Hide the search button in channels — removes the search button from the bar beside Join and Mute in channels. Search stays in the header.

Emoji Language — the language emoji names are spoken in. Twelve languages ship with the app; the list shows each one in your app language with its own name beneath. Changing it reloads the dictionary immediately.
Speak emoji names in messages — turns emoji in messages and in the chat list into spoken names. On by default; with it off, a message that is only emoji reads as nothing.
Do not speak emoji names in pickers — the kill switch for the other places emoji names are spoken, such as the reaction picker and sticker rows.

Stay offline with Ghost mode — stops read receipts, typing and recording indicators, story views, and online presence from being sent. Messages and stories still count as read for you on this phone. Off by default.
Block links opened from other apps — a Telegram link sent from another app does not open until you confirm it.
Also block links opened inside blindGram — extends the same confirmation to links inside messages.

Hide proxy sponsor channel — removes Telegram's sponsored proxy chat from the chat list.
Disable ads — stops sponsored messages in channels and bots, sponsored search results, and sponsored video overlays from being requested at all.
Use the alternative server address — switches the license and update service to its mirror. Useful when the main address is unreachable. Changing it re-checks your license straight away.
