Of course it works, but why install "snap" at all and get in a toolset from the same strange company that runs "ubuntu" when you don't have or don't want it. Plus Telegram provides a recommended way to install it with user-rights that provides an updater as well. No impact anywhere else on your system.
My advice is: Don't install "snap" at all when you don't know what it is.

No arm64 build from the official source. The telegram download that I can find is only for 32 bit and no arm/arm64 at all. Which is why I am using the snap.
I could backport the 2.5.8 version from sid, but I am old and lazy. If I was on a desktop/laptop with lots of ram I would, but running on a Raspberry PI400 it isn't worth the time it would take.
I quite, no idea how to do it, and spending a lot of time, thanks a lot, everyone.
I don't understand why you are having so much trouble. I already suggested installing the binary that they provide. Did you try? Here's the link again, this time in what I guess is your native language:
