# blindGram 14.0 Beta 2: the second test build on Telegram 12.8.1

blindGram 14.0 Beta 2 reached the beta channel on July 6, 2026, four days after Beta 1, as the second public test build of the move to Telegram 12.8.1.

If you test blindGram betas with a screen reader, this build is the same migration as Beta 1, one step further along. The channel posted no separate changelog for it, only the APK and the usual warning that a beta is for testing, not for the account you rely on every day.

### What this build was

- The 14.0 series moved blindGram to Telegram 12.8.1, a large jump in the upstream code, so that the newer Telegram screens could be checked with TalkBack and other Android screen readers.
- Beta 2 is the second public build of that series. Nothing was announced as new or fixed compared with Beta 1, so treat it as a checkpoint in the 14.0 migration rather than a feature release.
- Beta 1 came out on July 2, 2026, and is covered in the post on [blindGram 14.0 Beta 1](/blog/2026-07-02/blindgram-14-0-beta-1-telegram-12-8-1/).

### Who should install a beta

Beta builds are for people who report bugs and can live with an app that may misbehave. If that is not you, the current stable release is on the [download page](/download/).

Beta APKs, including this one, are posted in the Telegram channel @blindGram_BETA2.
