Description

Description

When using the latest Telegram (iOS) with iOS 13.4, and the latest Windows 10 Telegram Desktop (2.0.1) the iOS app doesn't show the icon that has been selected for a group which isn't one of the standard icons (i.e. contacts, groups, bots) and just shows a folder. The Telegram desktop app does honour the setting, although it might be worth nothing that it doesn't appear you can select the icons in the iOS app (you can on the desktop app).

Expected Behavior

iOS version should show the selected icon, should also have a picker for icons like the desktop app.

Actual Behavior

Shows the 'folder' icon for the group

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Create new group (random name)
  2. Add a few particular chats
  3. Edit the icon in Telegram desktop
  4. Check Telegram iOS by holding the 'chats' button on the bottom bar.

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Reproduce the issue with an iOS 13.4 device and the described desktop-created group icon, then trace the iOS group icon display and editing entry points; done means custom selected icons render instead of the folder icon and an iOS picker is available.
