Telegram offers fast, easy, and secure instant messaging with over 100 million users worldwide on all of your devices.
Telegram is powered by the cloud, and every conversation is stored remotely on encrypted distributed secure servers across the world. Built with security in mind, every one-on-one chat, group conversation, and file shared on the service is protected with a mix of AES, RSA and Diffie-Hellman encryption to protect your privacy.
Telegram offers group chats with up to 5,000 users at the same time, fun and intuitive editing tools for both video and photos, all for free with no ads.
While the app offers a full suite of practical and security features, there are some issues you should be aware of prior to installing. Some users have complained of random freezing and crashes on certain Android devices (mostly Samsung models); it’s also lacking advanced options like video calling and custom chat backgrounds.
All in all, Telegram offers a stunning array of features that make it a favorite for both casual and power users searching for a reliable, fun, and simple way to keep in contact.
