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 been using Telegram for a long time and I really love the app, but recently I’ve noticed an annoying issue on my iPhone 17 Pro.When recording video messages (video circles), Center Stage no longer stays enabled by default. It used to work automatically, but now I have to manually enable it through Control Center every single time I record a video message. This is very inconvenient.I’ve also noticed that my iPhone sometimes gets quite hot around the camera area while using Telegram, especially when recording video messages. The phone is only about 6 months old, so I don’t think this should be happening so often.Please look into the iOS version of Telegram, especially video messages, Center Stage, and device overheating. I hope this can be fixed in a future update. Thank you! 🙏
A Versatile Messaging App with Room for Improvement"
Any_insp
As an avid user of Telegram, I've found the app to be a versatile messaging platform with a plethora of features. However, there are some notable drawbacks that detract from the overall user experience.One issue I've encountered is the lag and complexity when trying to upload a photo for my avatar on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. Despite the powerful hardware of my device and 17.5 iOS update, the app struggles to handle this seemingly simple task smoothly. The difficulty in resizing and positioning the photo adds unnecessary frustration to what should be a straightforward process.Another downside is the challenge of navigating large group chats with numerous themes or topics. In such groups, it becomes difficult to see all participants, leading to a sense of disconnection and confusion within the community. This issue could be addressed through improved organization and user interface design.Despite its flaws, I am grateful to the developers for their dedication to providing a free messaging platform for the majority of users. It's commendable that Telegram prioritizes accessibility and affordability, making it accessible to a wide range of individuals across the globe. Thank you to the team for their ongoing efforts to improve the app and enhance the user experience.
Hi
Saidaxror bek
I have been using Telegram for over 5 years. I should thank the people sitting at the back. But lastly i am having problems with telegram. I was using iPhone 8 and i had problems with uploading videos, photos and while calls my phone was heating crazy I thought it is the phone got old and i bought iPhone 14 pro thanks for this by the way)). But still i am having the same problem. I should admit that the app is very comfortable to chat with people but lastly as the problems showed up i am using whatsap for video and even voice calls it has better quality but my phone battery drains very slow and it doesn’t heat up at all. I hope you guys are working on it because i still prefer telegram for my other 80% use☺️. Thanks 🙏.
Delete for others option

Thank you for the app, since it is the most convenient among many many others on the market. However, the latest feature where you can delete messages and chats for yourself and for the other person too is, I believe, a sort of a violation of personal information/privacy, since even if I want to delete my own messages, I shouldn’t be able to delete others’. Many people rely on information sent through msgs in telegram, and when they want to recheck that information, boom! it’s gone. The other person has already deleted it. Please revert it to old feature of deleting your own messages ONLY. Thanks.
