Description
Explanation
iPad's horizontal screenspace on landscape mode could be used to keep folders on the left, rather than the top, and increase the messages view by removing names and previews. On this example, an screenshot taken from the macOS X Swift app vs a screenshot taken on mi iPad 2018. I strongly belive iPadOS' telegram app could benefit from changing its layout
Examples
To sum up
- Allows the user to see more chats
- Allows the user to see more folders without scrolling on the top
- Allows the user to see more of the current chat (eg: bigger photos, longer messages)
- Allows enough space for a right sidebar for stickers and emojis (as seen on the desktop app)
- Keeps the layout similar to the desktop app
- It could be optional, the same way as the desktop app

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; begin by locating the iPadOS layout implementation and comparing it with the screenshots and the linked TelegramSwift example. Done would require an agreed design and an optional landscape layout with folders, chats, message content, and sidebar space arranged as described.
