Good, lightweight, easy to use and secure (probably) app. Works great on Android and desktop. Provides great level of control over privacy and other things like appearance, themes, data, profile, etc. Much better than any other chat app. It also has unlimited cloud storage. If your phone is damaged, nothing will be erased. Just log in with another phone and you'll have all the chats and media As a student, most of my teachers use this app as a learning platform. The voice chat update was a LIFESAVER as we no longer need to use heavy apps like zoom or google meet. Now I can chat, send a message/voice files AND join a live meeting in an app. Great, great, great!

★ Welcome to Telegram Messenger ★
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.
