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 500 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.

Ratings and Reviews
Works with CarPlay (mostly)
Most 3rd party messaging apps do not work very well with CarPlay…if at all. The ability to text using voice while driving…not unlike talking to someone in the seat next to you… is a utility that, for me, is a big differentiator. Viber doesn’t do it; WhatsApp doesn’t do it. This alone makes Telegram more viable for me. Whether it is end to end as secure as iMessage, I do not know. But all my friends do not have iPhones, so this is useful for sure.
By far the best desktop Telegram client.
The macOS version of Telegram is specially built specifically to work on macOS. It is an absolute pleasure to use. While the regular Telegram Desktop app is definitely good, it is a universal client that is built for deploying on Linux, Windows, and Mac all at once.
The special macOS version is updated by a couple of dedicated Telegram team developers who work hard to make it as absolutely flawless as possible and keep it working SO well. I wish it was possible to put this much effort into the regular Telegram desktop client, but it is far more difficult since that one is deployed cross-playform.
A hidden point
Telegram is overwhelmingly saturated by bots, and I would seem fine in the age of AI. however the bots here aren't that perfectioned, to say in the softest way - they are absoultely outdated and more work against the platform rather than provide any useful functions. One most ourageous thing that TG is very silent about - is that their messaging is limited to a certain amount per time,.that remains ahidden mistery. And even if there are no limits imposed he bots flag a profile that was once imposed of limitations. Under that pretext they try to sell you a Premium package, which has the same issue. Consider this when download the app. AppStore has to provide a clearer description of these limitations as well. The feedback is more for users, as we know telegram's support is a myth, so it is highly questionable if anyone (meaning Human) reads these comments .
