Walt has shared updated instructions for users who previously accessed the service through Telegram settings, outlining three alternative ways to open the platform.
According to the announcement, users can continue accessing Walt through a Home Screen shortcut, Telegram search or pinned conversations.
The platform also reassured users that their existing accounts, assets and balances remain unchanged. Only the method used to access Walt has changed.
1. Add Walt to Your Home Screen
The first option is to add Walt directly to a smartphone's Home Screen.
This creates a shortcut that allows users to launch the platform with a single tap, similar to opening a regular mobile application.
For users who frequently check their cryptocurrency balances or access Walt's financial services, this may be the most convenient method.
The exact process for creating a shortcut can vary depending on the device and operating system.
2. Find Walt Through Telegram Search
Users can also access Walt directly through Telegram's built-in search feature.
To find the service:
Open the Telegram application.
Tap the search bar.
Enter @walt.
Select the official Walt account or application from the results.
Open Walt to access the platform.
Users should verify that they have selected the legitimate service before interacting with a wallet or entering sensitive information.
3. Pin Walt to Your Telegram Chat List
Another option is to pin Walt inside Telegram.
Pinning a conversation keeps it near the top of the chat list, making it easier to access without repeatedly searching for the service.
Users can also organize Walt alongside other cryptocurrency and finance-related channels using Telegram's Chat Folders feature.
To create a folder, navigate to:
Telegram Settings → Chat Folders → Create Folder
After creating the folder, add Walt and any other relevant conversations.
Users can then pin Walt within the folder for quicker access.
This approach may be particularly useful for people who manage several Telegram-based crypto services.
Existing Walt Accounts and Balances Remain Unchanged
One of the main points in Walt's announcement is that the updated access methods do not require users to create new accounts.
According to the platform, existing assets and balances remain associated with their current accounts.
The change concerns how users open Walt, rather than a migration of funds or account information.
Users who previously relied on the Telegram settings shortcut can choose whichever alternative works best for their daily routine.
Why Telegram Accessibility Matters
Telegram has become an important distribution platform for cryptocurrency applications, particularly within the broader TON ecosystem.
Its Mini Apps infrastructure allows developers to offer services through familiar Telegram interfaces.
Wallets, payments, digital collectibles and other financial applications can be accessed without requiring users to navigate traditional standalone websites.
For users, convenient access can be particularly important when checking balances or managing digital assets.
Features such as pinned chats, search and Home Screen shortcuts help reduce the number of steps required to open frequently used services.
However, convenience should not replace security. Users should confirm official account identities and avoid suspicious links or unsolicited messages impersonating wallet providers.
What Walt Users Should Do Next
Users who previously accessed Walt through Telegram settings can switch to any of the three methods described in the announcement.
A Home Screen shortcut may be the fastest option for frequent access.
Telegram search provides a straightforward alternative without additional setup.
Pinned conversations and Chat Folders offer a more organized experience for users who regularly interact with multiple Telegram applications.
No account migration is described in the announcement, and Walt states that existing balances and assets remain available.
Bottom Line
Walt users now have three straightforward ways to access the platform: a Home Screen shortcut, Telegram search using @walt, or a pinned Telegram conversation.
Users can also organize Walt inside dedicated Chat Folders alongside other cryptocurrency services.
According to Walt, the change affects only how the platform is opened. Existing accounts, assets and balances remain where users left them.
For Telegram users, the update highlights how built-in navigation features can make crypto applications easier to access without changing the underlying account experience.
