Description

Pure instant messaging — simple, fast, secure, and synced across all your devices. One of the world's top 10 most downloaded apps with over 800 million active users.

FAST: Telegram is the fastest messaging app on the market, connecting people via a unique, distributed network of data centers around the globe.

SYNCED: You can access your messages from all your phones, tablets and computers at once. Telegram apps are standalone, so you don’t need to keep your phone connected. Start typing on one device and finish the message from another. Never lose your data again.

UNLIMITED: You can send media and files, without any limits on their type and size. Your entire chat history will require no disk space on your device, and will be securely stored in the Telegram cloud for as long as you need it.

SECURE: We made it our mission to provide the best security combined with ease of use. Everything on Telegram, including chats, groups, media, etc. is encrypted using a combination of 256-bit symmetric AES encryption, 2048-bit RSA encryption, and Diffie–Hellman secure key exchange.

100% FREE & OPEN: Telegram has a fully documented and free API for developers, open source apps and verifiable builds to prove the app you download is built from the exact same source code that is published.

POWERFUL: You can create group chats with up to 200,000 members, share large videos, documents of any type (.DOCX, .MP3, .ZIP, etc.) up to 2 GB each, and even set up bots for specific tasks. Telegram is the perfect tool for hosting online communities and coordinating teamwork.

RELIABLE: Built to deliver your messages using as little data as possible, Telegram is the most reliable messaging system ever made. It works even on the weakest mobile connections.

FUN: Telegram has powerful photo and video editing tools, animated stickers and emoji, fully customizable themes to change the appearance of your app, and an open sticker/GIF platform to cater to all your expressive needs.

SIMPLE: While providing an unprecedented array of features, we take great care to keep the interface clean. Telegram is so simple you already know how to use it.

PRIVATE: We take your privacy seriously and will never give any third parties access to your data. You can delete any message you ever sent or received for both sides, at any time and without a trace. Telegram will never use your data to show you ads.

For those interested in maximum privacy, Telegram offers Secret Chats. Secret Chat messages can be programmed to self-destruct automatically from both participating devices. This way you can send all types of disappearing content — messages, photos, videos, and even files. Secret Chats use End-to-End Encryption to ensure that a message can only be read by its intended recipient.

We keep expanding the boundaries of what you can do with a messaging app. Don’t wait years for older messengers to catch up with Telegram — join the revolution today.

it’s my favorite app and i recommend it to everyone; one complaint tho…

✩ edit: the gift subscription button is not working for me! i hope it’s fixed soon!! edit 2: i force closed the app and now it’s working! ✩ YEEHAW!!!! THEY ADDED GIFT SUBSCRIPTIONS!!! I AM SO PSYCHED!!! i’ve been dying to gift my cousin a premium subscription and now i can!!! THANK YOU TELEGRAM!! I LOVE YOU!!! i sent a support request but i’m also putting it here because i’m really hoping the dev team will see it: i want to be a premium user (and i am) in order to support the development of this app because it is my all-time favorite app, but i do not like that the star next to my name announces it to all the world to see. i would love an option to be an incognito supporter. thanks. that is my only complaint about telegram. prior to this, my only complaint was the lack of custom notification sounds but they JUST recently implemented that. i love literally everything about this app. i jumped to support them because they deserve it. maybe the star will help inspire others to support them too, but i am a quiet, reserved, introverted person and to me, it just feels pretentious. so i do hope they will let us decide whether or not it displays. regardless, you guys have made a stellar app and i am a die-hard fan. ♡

In desperate need of Group Video Chat

Hey, I’ve been using Telegram for over 10+ years and I haven’t had any problems with this application whatsoever everything works great but, there is one issue that I have with this application and that is the inability to create a group video chat that is why I can only give telegram 3 stars. I honestly believe that is a crucial disadvantage to this application I say that because, I have family and friends that live all over the world whether it be in different states or different countries and we all have telegram on our phones. That being said we would like to I’ll be able to talk in a video group chat with each other which we are unable to because this application doesn’t provide that option. So therefore since telegram doesn’t provide a video group chat option we have to download another application to be able to do that Task. Which in my opinion is extremely ridiculous because you should be able to perform the test on this app as well. Instead of making people waste valuable space on their phones by download in other apps to perform the test where y’all can provide that ability on your app so we don’t have to download other apps to perform that and we could save space on our Devices.

needs UX improvements on ios app

gripes using ios app (fwiw none of these issues occur using desktop Opera browser plugin), mainly cursor navigation and editing issues. specifically: 1. in dark mode, cursor remains black and is hard to see, 2. is misaligned below the baseline, so line placement is unclear (could be fallout from os text zoom sizing), 3. when scroll to edit insert point and tap, it invariably jumps back to prior cursor location, forcing user to scroll again and tap again, and then the cursor moves to desired location. clunky and inefficient. 4. emoji menu - A. emoji placement should be editable or based on usage, and/or B. like Signal, they appear as a block, not a strip. C. the idea of scrolling right to get to any emoji, but especially one commonly used, is not a feature but a bug. otherwise, a noticeably faster and better UX (love message editability), i generally recommend it to others. also please add watch app. and when pressing for context menus, need to change it so it doesn’t so rapidly select the option in the 2nd level menu where the 1st press happened to be - huge UX design issue.
