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.

Even typing is a major problem on this app. I have updated my phone and even the app but it still gets very slow whenever i use Telegram only. It’s so frustrating. I love that this is the only app where my friends and i can share photos without disturbing the quality of it. But if it’s this slow how can we even feel like using it?
Frustrating Connectivity and Reinstallation Problems
Kitundumegy
I've been a frequent Telegram user, but recently the app has struggled with connectivity, failing to load or update chats correctly. It suddenly stopped functioning, with no new messages or chat updates, despite my stable internet connection.After attempting multiple fixes, I decided to uninstall and reinstall the app, hoping it would resolve the issue. However, now I’m stuck in the verification process. Every time I try to confirm my phone number, I receive the error: "Please check your internet connection and try again," even though my internet is working perfectly on both Wi-Fi and mobile data.This experience has been very frustrating, as I'm unable to access any chats or reconnect to the app. I hope Telegram fixes this issue soon, as it's unusable in its current state. It's disappointing to rely on an app that has such a significant failure without a clear solution.

This is really frustrating because I can’t access any of my chats or reconnect to the app. I hope Telegram addresses this issue soon, as it's completely unusable at the moment.
