What is Telegram Messenger?
Telegram Messenger is a messaging app that works over the internet, just like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger. That means you can send messages for free by using a wi-fi connection or your mobile data allowance (providing you have enough data).
Which devices can use Telegram?
Telegram can be used on smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers. The Telegram app is available for Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Windows NT, macOS and Linux.
How does it differ from other messaging apps?
Telegram’s main selling point is security. It claims all its activities – including chats, groups and media – are encrypted, meaning even if they are intercepted, they won’t be visible without being deciphered first. However, some security experts have cast doubt on how secure Telegram is.
