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 950 million 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.

Safety starts with understanding how developers collect and share your data. Data privacy and security practices may vary based on your use, region, and age. The developer provided this information and may update it over time.
Edit: this is still a premium only feature, and it shouldn't be! So wrong!! I get so many unwanted messages, but I can't do anything about it because of this. It's just not right! Great app for the most part, but when I got a spam message this morning, I realized you cannot set privacy of who can message you without paying for premium. This should be a free setting ALWAYS!! Forcing users to pay to protect their privacy is sketchy, at best.

Hello! I have an interesting question, why has the app been lagging lately? The photo can't be cropped normally. That is, you cut it off before sending it, but in the chat it is completely intact without any changes. What if I had personal information there that no one else should have seen and I cut it off for that purpose? I'll be lucky if the person wasn't online and I was able to quickly replace the photo, but there's no guarantee that I'll make it. Please fix it. sorry for the mistakes

This app is pointless unless you're in a country that depends upon it. I've been checking out various messaging apps, and this is my largest source of spam messages, including work scams. They want us to PAY to block unknown senders, but it's way easier to uninstall the app instead. This app also has no standout features. It's more complex to use than RCS, has a worse interface than alternatives like WhatsApp, Google Messages, and Signal, and it isn't even secure anymore — use Signal instead.
