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.

The app is very nice overall and everything is flowing well but I’ve noticed that this one bug has been happening WAY too many times. Sometimes when im having a normal conversation with friends, when I respond to them it shows that my messages are sent when in reality it isn’t. So when I send a ton of texts my friends are all like “hello?? why are you leaving me on seen?” And it always tricks me everytime. It takes a while for my messages to finally send too. And no it’s not the wifi, it’s the app itself. Every other text messaging app works perfectly fine but this always happens on telegram. And even when the messages finally send, none of them are in order too 😔 so my texts don’t make sense
love the app but there is some bugs

okay so this app is VERY dear to me i love it it’s my most used app i own i use it to text my friends and check on school stuff but recently in me and my friends group chat it’s been lagging as in whenever we pin a bunch of random messages inside jokes whatever (im talking 130+ msgs) it unpins them for some reason which is very annoying (side note it isn’t me or my friends removing them it’s the app itself) and the reason why it’s annoying is because we have no say in it removing them AND you have to pin every message one by one and not select them all then pin so it’s very time consuming to repin every single message so PLEASE fix this telegram!!
A lot of annoying bugs

I like this app more than any social app, but recently a lot of bugs started appearing, one of them is when I downloaded a video, and try to save it, I didn’t find it In my photos gallery! This bug from long time and even the previous updates didn’t fix it. The other bug is when I copy a text and tried to paste it I got kicked immediately, the same thing when it try to paste a text with photo.. I deleted the app but nothing changed, this is really annoying! (Btw this problem appears from likely 2 days ago, please fix this bugs quickly)
fix it

Hello Telegram,I am experiencing a very frustrating issue regarding cloud storage and downloaded media within the app.Normally, when I download a video (for example, a 1 GB file), it is supposed to remain saved and accessible locally for a long time, unless I manually choose to clear the cache.However, the downloaded videos are being deleted automatically from my device, even though I have plenty of free storage space available. Sometimes they disappear randomly for no reason, and other times, they get deleted the exact moment the download finishes! This is causing a very frustrating experience.Please look into this issue and fix it as soon as possible.Thank you
Bug fixes, minor improvements, and more.
