Hi Tony,

Thanks for reaching out and providing detailed information about your issue. Let’s get this sorted out for you!

Here’s what I’ve gathered from your message:

• Platform Affected: Telegram Desktop
• Web3Auth Version: Using versions ^9.5.4 for most packages except @web3auth/openlogin-adapter which is ^8.12.4
• Issue: Users encountering “This browser is no longer supported” when trying to login with X via your Miniapp.

To help the support team diagnose the problem more efficiently, could you please provide:

1. Web3Auth Initialization and Login Code Snippets: This will help in understanding how the login is being implemented.
2. Browser Console Screenshots: If accessible, these could provide more insights into any potential errors.

It seems like there might be a compatibility issue with Telegram Desktop’s inbuilt browser. A possible workaround until a permanent solution is found could be to encourage users to try a web-based version of your Miniapp or check if Telegram has any updates that might address this issue.

Let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance!

Hey @haicake,

It looks like the Telegram Desktop environment may not fully support X login within Mini Apps. The in-app browser used in Telegram Desktop has known compatibility issues with certain authentication flows, including OAuth-based logins like Google and X.

Some developers have encountered similar issues where Telegram’s in-app browser restricts certain authentication methods due to security policies. A few discussions online also mention that Web Authentication API support is limited in the Telegram Mini App browser, which can impact login flows.
