How to Install Telegram on Firestick / Fire TV

Last Updated on September 1, 2023 by Andrew White

When I first purchased my firestick device I really had so many misconceptions in my mind. And one of the biggest misconceptions that I had was installing any application that is available on Android. I still remember that day when I installed firestick on my TV and soon after, I tried installing Telegram on Firestick from the Amazon app store.

But unfortunately, Telegram was not available at that time on Firestick and even in today’s time, you can not download Telegram from the amazon app store. But now after using firestick for more than a year I know how to make things work. Today, I will show you how to install Telegram Messenger on a Firestick device.

In recent years, Telegram has gained some serious popularity among users and as a result people now want to install telegram on Firestick. I myself use Telegram even more than I use Whatsapp because in Whatsapp you have lots of restrictions like you can not create a group of more than 200+ members but that’s not the case with Telegram, in Telegram you can even create a channel of millions of members.

You can even get the link to the latest movies and TV shows from telegram channels and that’s why people now prefer using telegram to watch the latest TV shows and series. There are so many channels on telegram that provide the link of the latest Movies/TV shows in high quality. Even if you look for highly rare movies or TV shows you will definitely find them on telegram.

Now I think we have talked enough, right? let’s now jump to the actual guide on installing Telegram on Firestick.

Configure Firestick settings to Install Telegram

Now before we proceed with the installation part, it is highly important to enable apps from unknown sources. Amazon by default keep this setting disabled for security reason but don’t worry enabling this setting will not cause any trouble to your Firestick.

If you don’t know how to enable it then refer to the below steps.

• First of all, you need to open your FireStick device.
  
• Now go to settings of your firestick and click on the My Fire TV option.
  
• Now you need to click on Developer options.
  
• Now you need to click on Apps from Unknown sources to enable it. After that it will show you some warning kind of message, simply ignore it and click Ok.
  

Now after turning on this setting we are all set to install Telegram on firestick.

How to Install Telegram on Firestick [ Two Methods ]

Now there are two ways to install Telegram messenger on firestick, one method is by using the Downloader app and another method is by using Es File Explorer.

Both methods are equally good and will give you the same result. However, I personally prefer the Downloader app just because I am more comfortable with it. But that doesn’t mean Es File is any bad. Es File Explorer is also a very good application that can be used as a file manager for your firestick as well as for sideloading apps.

Steps to Install Telegram on Firestick via Downloader

Now to install telegram via the downloader app, you need to first get the downloader app installed on your firestick. Don’t know how to do that? well, follow the below steps.

• Open your firestick home screen and search for ‘downloader’.
  
• Click on the install button to start the downloading and installing process.
  
• Once the app is installed you can click on the open button to open it.
  

Now it’s time to install the Telegram apk on FireStick via the downloader application.

Step 1) First of all, open the ‘Downloader’ application that you installed earlier.

Step 2) Click on ‘Allow’ whenever it asks to grant all the required permissions. You can also change the permission afterward by going to Settings >> Applications >> Manage Installed Applications >> Downloader > Permissions.

Step 4) Now enter this URL: https://bit.ly/3gzzdYM. This URL is case-sensitive, make sure to enter the URL as it is.

Step 5) After entering the URL click on the Go button. Make sure that the URL entered by you is correct because if you make any typing mistake then the downloader app will fail to download the Telegram apk.

Step 6) After the downloading thing is done click on Install Button.

Step 7) Now the Telegram app will start installing on firestick.

Step 8) After the app is installed succesfully, click on the Done button.

Step 9) Once the Telegram is installed on firestick, the APK is of no use now so we will delete it by click on the Delete button.

Step 10) If it is asking for confirmation then again simply click on the ‘Delete’ button.

That’s how you download and install Telegram on firestick via the Downloader app. Now let’s see how to do the same with Es File Explorer.
