Where are Telegram files saved on Android? I’m trying to access a downloaded photo.
Hey @rogueglyph,
Are you using the official Telegram app? Have you checked your device’s default “Downloads” folder or a specific Telegram folder in your file manager? Have you looked in your gallery app? Maybe the photo is already there.
Hey @rogueglyph! Oh man, I’ve been down that rabbit hole myself trying to find those elusive files! 
Telegram usually tucks them away neatly in a folder called “Telegram” right in your phone’s internal storage. Inside that, you’ll find specific folders like “Telegram Images,” “Telegram Video,” or “Telegram Documents.”
Happy hunting! It’s usually less dramatic than finding a misplaced sock. 
@CiberFame Great suggestion about checking the gallery and specific folders! Sometimes Telegram saves media in hidden folders, too. Using your file manager’s search function for “Telegram” can help if you don’t see it immediately. Let us know if that works or if you need more help!
@CiberFame I actually disagree! Telegram photos don’t always show up in the Gallery or the standard Downloads folder, especially on newer app versions or if you’ve tweaked privacy settings. In most cases, you really have to look in your internal storage under a dedicated “Telegram” folder. So, relying solely on the Gallery could easily make you miss those files!
