After Android 16 update, Telegram has not been working properly and keeps loading each chat for more than 30 seconds and the widget turns black and unresponsive every time I open the app and close it.
Also when I receive a message, I get a notification and after checking the message, it's as if I haven't opened that chat at all and I have to close the app and re-open the app.
I can't even upload a video of the issue, which is frustrating
Steps to reproduce
Open chat
Loading
Wait
Send a message
Close chat
Remove the widget
Add the widget again
Device info
Telegram Android 11.12.0 (59979), Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, 16 (36)
Same for me. Had a Google Pixel 7 with Android 16 beta: no problems. Now I have a Google Pixel 10 pro with Android 16 (latest release, no beta): chats are loading

Yes, Ive been using 16 for some time, and am facing many isses, that seemed fine before 16's official release. However, im not having the issues you guys are describing specifically. Are you guys installing telegram from the Play Store? If so, im curious to see what happens if you trash that, and install the apk from telegrams website. Temporary workaround: use telegram web /a or /k @ web.telegram.org/a/@yourname

The latest MagicOS (Android 16) update brought exactly the problems described in the post to Honor Magic users.

Yea :( There has been a widget sync issue for months :(
This issue is due to corrupted data on updating to Android 16 without a hard reset. The way earlier versions handles app + data was different and this corrupt data likely is the reason for bugs like the widget loading error. Take backups on cloud / hard drive and clear all telegram data ; uninstall app. Reboot phone . Reinstall telegram fresh and set it up. It will most likely work without earlier bugs.

Removing the Telegram widget fixed the problem for me. It's a pity because the widget has been pretty useful.
Looks like the problem is gone 12.6.4. The widget works fine now and conversations load immediately.
However, I have noticed a new issue. When I open the app and immediately close it using the system back button, in about 75% cases it works like expected. But sometimes the back button stops doing anything, it won't close the app.
Then, if I open any conversation and then press the back button expecting to go back to the list, the whole app closes instead. (By closing I mean I get back to home screen, not that the app crashes.)
Very rarely, when rapidly opening and closing the app, I made the entire app completely unresponsive. But I'm not able to reproduce it at the moment.
