Currently, this functionality is only available to beta testers on desktop. The interface may evolve before launch, but in its current form, completed transactions show up as a blue card in chat, with confirmations and a clickable transaction summary. Users outside the beta do not have access to this functionality.
GRAM Transfer Screen Features
The GRAM transfer screen in Telegram’s macOS beta wallet provides testers with direct, in-app control over digital transfers. At the top of the screen, the recipient’s name, Telegram username, and blockchain wallet address appear clearly under “Send Money to.” A question mark beside the address explains that transfers go to a TON address linked specifically to a Telegram account, rather than a random username, helping prevent send errors.
The amount field enables fast switching between GRAM and US dollar values using a toggle. For example, users can enter “10 GRAM” to view its dollar equivalent, or swap and input a dollar amount to see its GRAM conversion. The user’s balance and the current network fee are displayed underneath. Demonstration screens show a “0 Grams” balance in the test environment.
A comment field (under the “…” menu) lets users add a note to the transfer. By default, this note is visible only to sender and recipient, but it can be made public on the blockchain. After sending, a blue card in the chat logs the transfer; clicking this card reveals further details, including transaction status and amount. This feature set is currently restricted to beta participants, and final release details are not confirmed.
Privacy Controls for Transaction Comments
Telegram’s macOS beta introduces a privacy-focused option for transaction comments. When sending GRAM, a user can attach an “Optional message.” According to the source, the comment is readable only by the sender and recipient by default. If the “Make comment public” box is selected, the comment becomes viewable on-chain, accessible to anyone.
This privacy-by-default design limits the comment to the sender and recipient unless the sender explicitly makes it public. If made public, the comment can be read by anyone on the blockchain. Builders who intend to read or reference transaction comments should be aware that most remain private and are not automatically accessible on-chain unless the sender opts in.
TON Drop Hub take: Default privacy for comments reduces the chance of accidental exposure of sensitive data. Both users and developers should check whether comment visibility is private or public before building automated systems or relying on message content for audits.
Beta Access and UI Details
Only macOS beta testers can use the new GRAM transfer screen for now. The interface permits toggling amounts between GRAM and dollars and displays a GRAM-to-dollar conversion rate in the beta interface; the source does not identify the rate provider. The recipient’s Telegram username, wallet address, and explanatory tooltip all appear directly in the transfer window.
Transfers support an optional message, which is private unless manually set to public. A blue card log is posted in chat for each transfer, opening to a detailed screen for review. The window shows wallet balance, network fee, and net amount sent, but itemized fee details are not given. Interface elements and appearance may change, as there is no confirmed public launch timeline and the wallet experience is subject to further design work.
Recent builds reference Apple’s Metal graphics API and other evolving interface modules, suggesting Telegram continues to experiment with presentation and features during development.
TON Drop Hub take: Beta users should be cautious about the permissions and wallet capabilities they grant, and should not expect the current beta UI or flow to remain unchanged. Design, fees, and rollout could shift significantly before reaching all users.
The current macOS beta wallet allows GRAM and dollar amount toggling, comment privacy control, and clear display of transfer details in-chat. Transfers route to blockchain addresses tied to specific Telegram accounts, with visual confirmation of amount and identity. These features are accessible only to a limited audience until broader release is announced.
