I installed telegram using flatpak. It is quite mobile friendly but does not appear in the menu. I tried to manipulate .desktop file but had no luck. Could experts advise what exactly influences “show only mobile friendly apps” inteface?
Take a look at Specify Form-Factors in Your Librem 5 Apps – Purism.
You want to add this line in:
X-Purism-FormFactor=Workstation;Mobile;

I think an app has to have been marked as such by the author.
I actually disable the “Show only mobile-friendly apps” setting, so I have all my installed apps in the grid view.
The next version of phosh is already out on mobian ttesting which I was using on my Pinepro until it died and then pine64 didnt warranty the new replacement board, it allows you to make groups which I used to overcome the mobile friendly and just have the apps I wanted on desktop plus a few favorites.
Should the opposite be marked “mobile-hostile” ?

That’s the best option. Why would someone hide some apps anyway

I use it to have the mainly used apps in the visible space while long time unused apps hidden. But the real reason is to hide apps that are only useful with external monitor, so you don’t need to bother with them on day to day usage. But who knows, Phosh contributors may change their mind at some point and improve the app grid further.

That was never necessary. You can override that via a config setting so one doesn’t need to modify any desktop files:
$ gsettings get sm.puri.phosh force-adaptive
See man phosh.gsettings for an example on how to set it.
EDIT: Really mobile friendly apps should certainly be marked by the author as such. That gsetting is ment for the one off cases and sometimes until upstream made a release, see e.g. data: Update list of adaptive apps (!1885) · Merge requests · World / Phosh / phosh · GitLab
