Yep, I am aware. This is already reported to the snapd developers. I don't know if it is something neochat has to fix or them.

Details from 486290:
Telegram icon is blank after an upgrade from Kubuntu 23.10 to Kubuntu 24.10, it was installed as a snap

Based on user comments, this may be fixed in the snapd beta channel.
