Pure instant messaging — simple, fast, secure, and synced across all your devices. One of the top 5 most downloaded apps in the world with over 1 billion 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.

Since the latest update, push notifications just show “you have a new message” This is because I have the FaceID enabled in the Telegram settings. My Lock Screen is already secured with my FaceID. No one can see my notification previews without me looking at my phone. I’ve now had to disable FaceID in Telegram! Please give me an option to prevent Telegram from hiding the notification preview on the Lock Screen!Also… the animated emojis are nice but they get in the way! I use the normal emojis way more often so I end up scrolling a lot to find the emoji I use most often. Please put the normal emojis before the animated ones! Or at the very least, put the ones I use most frequently first!
Gross disregard for privacy
unis.zuurmond
Stay away of this app my friends, many, many things are wrong with it.1. I did not give permission when I installed the app and activated my account, but someone I know who had my number on their contacts, and who had Telegram installed, got notified when I joined. I did not want this person to know. 2. Following on from this, Telegram insists on sharing contacts. I’m very OCD, and hate unanswered issues and notifications, but I am unable to remove the warning that I have not shared my contacts. This should be an option, not a warning!3. And following on from this, I switch off notifications for all apps, as it makes me anxious, but Telegram issues a warning when I do this that I should switch it back on. Please can someone at Telegram be less pushy, this is not the way to make your app succeed, it has the opposite effect and negates all the hard work that may have otherwise gone into making it better than others.
Mutual contact Proposal

If you really want to top Whatsapp, I suggest you give us some kind of indication whether or not the people we have under contacts also have us stored as a contact, you know unlike whatsapp where you need to send a broadcast to be able to determine whether someone have you stored as a contact. Why? Because theres contacts always online when I am, but now I do not want to hit them with a random "Hey" if they do not have me as a contact, I want to be able to know if they also have me and see that we both online together so that we both available to chat. Please please please, you will definitely get more users if you add this unique feature.
Zero Support-Stole all my stars and purchases
ZaffieBraveCat
I am a 45 year old lady whom mainly use telegram for mini apps and games and use in app purchases quite often. As a flight attendant I travel internationally. In August I Landed in London and opened the App. Suddenly it says “Number banned”. Fine, I reach out to support for clarity as I certainly have never used the app for illicit activities. There is ZERO support on any platform. Emails sent: more than 10, no answer on X-login support. They were happy to take my money in support of their mini apps, yet now after 2 months of contacting them still no support…. Not even an acknowledgment of my request for assistance. It is frightening that they can ban you for no reason with no recourse and you will never see your telegram stars again and all money spent on in app purchases in mini apps was thus just stolen….extremely disappointing.
Bug fixes, minor improvements, and more.
