Privacy Policy

TG Audio Player · Last updated: July 6, 2026

Overview

TG Audio Player lets you sign in to your own Telegram account and listen to audio content from the channels and chats you've already joined, using Telegram's official TDLib library. This policy describes exactly what data the app handles, matching the App Privacy details declared on its App Store listing.

Data we collect

Signing in and using the app requires sending the following to Telegram's servers — not to us; we do not operate any backend of our own:

• Phone number — used to authenticate your Telegram account.
• Account/user ID — Telegram's own identifier for your account, used to authenticate your session.
• Message content (captions, sender info) — retrieved from Telegram so the app can display your audio library.
• Audio data (voice messages, audio files) — retrieved from Telegram so the app can play them back.

All four are linked to your Telegram identity, because that is inherent to how authentication and content retrieval work — we do not anonymize or de-identify this data. All four are used solely for app functionality: signing you in and letting you browse and play your own content. None of it is used for advertising, analytics, tracking or product personalization, and none of it is shared with data brokers or advertising networks.

What we don't do

• No analytics or tracking. No analytics SDK, no advertising identifiers, no tracking of any kind — on our end or through any third-party partner.
• No advertising. No ads, no ad networks, no data sharing with ad partners.
• No server of our own. The app talks directly to Telegram's servers using your own account credentials.

Speech recognition

Voice messages without a title may be transcribed on-device using Apple's Speech framework to generate a short title. The app requires on-device transcription specifically and will not generate a title at all if on-device recognition isn't available on your device — audio is never sent to Apple's or anyone else's servers for this feature. Generated titles are cached locally on your device only.

Local storage

Playback positions, played status, downloaded audio and generated titles are stored locally on your device (in a local database and the device's file system) and are never transmitted anywhere. Diagnostic logs are also local-only and leave your device only if you explicitly choose to export and share them yourself.

Third-party services

• Telegram (TDLib) — used for authentication and to access the audio content you've chosen to listen to. Your use of Telegram itself is subject to Telegram's own privacy policy.
• Apple Speech Framework — used for on-device voice recognition only, as described above. No data leaves your device through this feature.

Your choices

You can delete your locally cached data (downloads, generated titles, playback history) and sign out of your Telegram account at any time from the app's Diagnostics screen, which also removes the on-device session key. Deleting the app removes all locally stored data.
