Security rating: Trusted

Signing certificate

Signed with Android's public test key This key is published with Android's source code, so anyone can sign a file with it.
The same certificate signs apps from 141 different developers Developers sign only their own apps, so this almost always means the files were re-signed by someone else — often after being modified.
Signed differently from the Google Play version v0.29.0.1813-x64, v0.29.0.1813-x86, v0.29.0.1813-arm64-v8a and 3 more, which match Google Play, use another certificate. Android normally won't update an installed Play Store copy with this file. v0.29.0.1813-x64 · v0.29.0.1813-x86 · v0.29.0.1813-arm64-v8a · v0.29.0.1813-armeabi-v7a

Telegram X APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Probably not if you installed Telegram X from Google Play: this file is signed with a different certificate, and Android normally refuses such an update. You would have to uninstall your copy first, which deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Telegram X APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. It is signed with Android's public test key, which anyone can use. Its signing certificate is also used for apps from 141 different developers. It is signed with a different certificate than the Google Play version. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 66b08c71249cb89ee9cc237fc7751ca4.
