What is Telegram?

Telegram is a cloud-based instant messaging app known for its speed, security, and versatility. It was launched in 2013 by brothers Nikolai and Pavel Durov, who are also the founders of the Russian social network VK. Telegram offers a wide range of features including messaging, multimedia sharing, and the ability to create large groups and channels.

Key features of Telegram

  1. End to End Encryption: Telegram offers secret chats that use end-to-end encryption, allowing only the sender and recipient to read the messages. Normal chats are also encrypted, but not end-to-end.

  2. Cloud Synchronization: Messages and media are stored in the cloud, allowing users to access their data from different devices without having to back up.

  3. Sending Large Files: Users can send files up to 2 GB each, far exceeding the limits of most other messaging apps.
