What is telegram?
Telegram is a cloud-based instant messaging app and communication platform. It was developed by Pavel Durov and his brother Nikolai Durov in 2013. Telegram offers a range of features, including text messaging, voice and video calls, file sharing, group chats, channels, and more. It prioritizes security and privacy, using end-to-end encryption for secret chats and offering features like self-destructing messages. Telegram is available as a mobile app for iOS and Android devices, as well as a desktop application for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It has gained popularity for its user-friendly interface, speed, and robust security features.
