> Telegram has proper native clients

They're not: they reimplement their own frameworks on top of relatively low-level UI primitives.

Sounds native to me.

Non-native to me is typically a a pure web client or when you use Java Swing or Electron.

What do you mean by native?

[saagarjha]

I generally have a strict definition of native which means “using platform widgets”. Telegram doesn’t do this because it makes its own copies of almost everything.
