Telegram

Instant messaging with unmatched security and features — Telegram is the cross-platform app millions trust worldwide for fast, encrypted communication. Since 2013, Telegram has evolved beyond basic texting to offer capabilities unavailable in WhatsApp, Signal, or other competitors.

Stay connected without compromising privacy. Sign up with your phone number, but you're never forced to share it — use usernames instead to let others find and message you. Chat one-on-one or create groups with hundreds of thousands of members. Set custom rules: restrict posting to admins only, enforce message delays, or mute notifications entirely. Archive chats you'll revisit later, keeping your inbox distraction-free.

Your security matters. Telegram uses MTProto encryption by default, protecting all content on our servers with SHA-256 encryption and defense against advanced attacks. For sensitive conversations, activate secret chats with end-to-end encryption — these sync only on your device, never across phones, and you can set messages to vanish after being read. Self-destructing content cannot be screenshotted, adding an extra privacy layer.

Send anything, anywhere. All chat data lives in the cloud, so you access Telegram offline and sync seamlessly across devices. Share files up to 2GB each, send unlimited photos, videos, GIFs, and audio messages — just press and hold to record voice notes or video clips. Make crystal-clear VoIP and video calls: matching emoji icons at the top confirm no one is eavesdropping or tampering with your call.

Express yourself freely with stickers. Telegram pioneered animated stickers in messaging; our library spans static designs to looping animations and full-size emojis that play once when opened. Customize your experience with light or dark themes and personalized color schemes.

Discover bots and channels. Interact with AI bots, download tools, and automated services tailored to your needs. Follow channels where admins broadcast to thousands; some allow comments so your voice is heard.

Elevate with premium. Telegram Premium unlocks faster file downloads (up to 4GB), exclusive stickers and reactions, real-time chat translation, voice-to-text conversion, ad-free browsing, and countless perks — all optional. Telegram remains fully functional and free.
