Expected behaviour

Should not show the message and work, as the Flatpak shoudn't depend on system WebKitGTK

Actual behaviour

The WebApp doesn't work because apparently WebKitGTK is missing.

Operating system

Arch Linux

Version of Telegram Desktop

5.0.1

Installation source

Flatpak

Install the org.telegram.desktop.webview addon

Already installed, it is the first thing I looked.

I can't confirm the issue you report exists, sorry.

Same problem.
Telegram is installed via flathub. After logging in and clicking ‘Wallet’ button, ‘Please install WebKitGTK’ appears.

Installed via flatpak: org.telegram.desktop.webview, org.telegram.desktop.

Operating System: Fedora Linux 40

Sorry, folks, but I can't confirm the issue. Web bots work like a charm for me.

Same for me, but without flatpack - native install by Gentoo. Why Qt program required something GTK?

This doesn't sound related to the issue given that you say you don't use flatpak. There's a telegram group linked in New issue -> Question if you want just to ask questions rather than report a bug.

Same problem.
