# blindGram 13.3: accessible Telegram 11.9.0 for screen readers

blindGram 13.3, released April 2, 2025, moves the accessible Telegram client to Telegram 11.9.0, labels newly reported unnamed buttons and fixes reported bugs.

There is no new option to learn in this release. Its job is to keep everything you already rely on working after Telegram changed its screens again.

### A maintenance release, on purpose

Telegram 11.9.0 changed screens and controls, and each such change can quietly undo an accessibility fix: focus lands somewhere else, a button loses its spoken name, the keyboard behaves differently. 13.3 is the release that re-fits blindGram to those changes.

### What changed

- blindGram's accessibility behavior was adjusted to Telegram's changed interface, so focus and reading order follow the new screens.
- Buttons that users had reported as unnamed got spoken labels.
- Regressions reported since 13.2 were fixed.

### Why keeping pace with Telegram matters

Every Telegram update rearranges something. Rebuilding blindGram on each new version soon after it appears is what protects keyboard, focus and spoken-label behavior as screens change, instead of letting problems pile up between releases.

The test build before this release was [blindGram 13.3 Beta](/blog/2025-03-28/blindgram-13-3-beta-telegram-11-9/). This is an archived release; the current version is on the [blindGram download page](/download/), and the [accessibility overview](/accessibility/) explains what blindGram does for screen reader users today.
