How To Play Telegram Videos In iPhone

Playing Telegram videos on an iPhone is typically straightforward, as Telegram supports native video playback within the app. However, certain video formats or encoding types may not be fully compatible with iOS, requiring alternate playback methods. This tutorial walks through both standard playback and an alternative solution using a third-party media player. Start by launching the Telegram app on your iPhone and logging in if needed. Navigate to the chat, channel, or group where the video is shared. To play a video, simply tap on the video thumbnail—Telegram will automatically start downloading and playing the video using its built-in player. Most common formats such as MP4 will play without any issues directly within the app. However, if you encounter a video that does not play—perhaps due to unsupported format or codec—you will need to download and open it using a dedicated video player app. In this case, exit Telegram and open the App Store. Search for "VLC Media Player" or another advanced player such as "KMPlayer." Install the app on your iPhone. Return to Telegram, locate the video, and tap the three-dot icon next to it (if available) to save or share the file. Use the "Save to Files" or "Share" option to send the video to VLC or KMPlayer. Open the player app, navigate to the file, and play it directly from there. This workaround ensures smooth playback even for non-standard video formats. Keep in mind that Telegram cloud chats allow for redownloading videos anytime, so there's no need to worry about storage loss after offloading the app or restarting your phone.
