    From the README

    Unlock Telegram: Download Anything You Like.

    This user script unlocks and enables download of images, GIFs, audios, and videos in Telegram webapps from chats, stories, and even private channels where downloading is disabled or restricted.

    (Note: some features are only available for specific Telegram webapp version. e.g. Audio message download is only available for the K webapp version.)

    User scripts put you in control of your browsing experience. Once installed, they automatically make the sites you visit better by adding features, making them easier to use, or taking out the annoying bits. The user scripts on Greasy Fork were written by other users and posted to share with the world. They're free to install and easy to use.
