Unigram is a UWP Telegram client for Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile.

The app is being created by a group of developers who are fans of the Telegram network but note “current official Telegram-app has no signs of releasing an UWP-version.”

Their app is still in active development, but currently already features:

Basic chat functionality

Share pictures
Search through notes
Mute chats
See if the message has been sent
See if the message has been checked

And more…

UWP-specific:

Quick reply from notifications
Support for Continuum

The team are still working on features such as sending stickers and background functionality, but if you wanted Telegram on your PC for a long time, you can now pick it up from the Store here. If you are a developer you can join the effort to complete the app here.
