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.

I’ve got an iPhone 14 Pro Max, I decided to get monthly subscription. now the option to go to select text and speak doesn’t work any more. I have written to Support unfortunately they did not write back. I use that feature every day because I’m dyslexic, it would be nice to see that fixed.

Telegram has become my go-to messaging app. The speed and reliability are outstanding; messages are delivered instantly, and the app works flawlessly, even with a poor internet connection. I really appreciate the focus on privacy and security, with end-to-end encryption available for secret chats. One of the things I love most about Telegram is its versatility. You can share files of any type and size, which is incredibly convenient.In short, Telegram is a fantastic messaging app that prioritizes speed, security, and functionality. It's a great alternative to other messaging apps, and I highly recommend giving it a try!
Not a good look man
KyKy2457
At this point, I genuinely feel like this app has become a haven for scammers. It’s incredibly disappointing because I initially downloaded it with good intentions, hoping to meet real people and have genuine conversations. Instead, I’ve encountered an overwhelming number of fake profiles, suspicious messages, and people clearly trying to manipulate or deceive others. It’s honestly exhausting having to constantly question whether someone is real or just another scammer playing a game. The fact that I’ve run into so many of them makes me wonder what kind of vetting process, if any, the app even has in place. It’s made it really difficult to feel safe or trust the experience anymore, and I know I’m not the only one who feels this way.
Forget telegram for audio calls
Pekazenens
Using telegram for years now. Was really excited when they introduced audio calls with very crisp and great quality. However this is not the case anymore. I haven’t had a satisfying call since very long time now. Other apps and solutions seem to work well at the same time telegram has issues which excludes the bandwidth being the problem. Please fix this telegram or remove the functionality. Until this has been done I cannot give it more stars.
Bug fixes, minor improvements, and more.
