Telegram - Messaging app for fast, secure chats, voice calls, file sharing, and group communication.

Telegram is a cloud-based messaging app for mobile and desktop, built for speed, security, and simplicity. This open-source platform offers instant messaging that stays synchronized across all your devices, ensuring seamless communication. Trusted by over 500 million active users worldwide, Telegram combines fast performance with robust privacy features, catering to both personal and professional use.

As one of the fastest messaging apps on the market, Telegram connects users via a globally distributed network of data centers. It enables smooth sharing of messages, photos, videos, stickers, audio, and files of any format. The app is fully compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, ensuring a consistent messaging experience across all devices.

By default, messages and media on Telegram are encrypted while stored on its servers, though the service provider holds the encryption keys. Client-server communications are also encrypted, ensuring secure data transfer. For voice calls, Telegram offers end-to-end encryption, providing complete privacy and protection for conversations.

Telegram makes it easy to share news, updates, and information with large groups through public and private channels. This is a great way to stay connected with friends, family, or coworkers and can also be used for business or marketing purposes.

Users can enhance their privacy by setting up an alias, enabling them to send and receive messages without exposing their phone number. You remain in full control, whether you delete your Telegram account manually or let it be automatically deleted after six months of inactivity.
