What is Telegram and how does it work?

Fast, secure and private instant messages: the best alternative to WhatsApp.

What is Telegram?

Telegram is a communications platform that offers instant messaging services, sending files, voice calls and video calls among its members. Telegram is fast, secure and works without advertising or membership fees.

Telegram Features

Its features include end-to-end encrypted communications, message receipt notifications, file sending without size limits, as well as the possibility of creating chat groups with up to 200,000 members and broadcast lists aimed at large audiences (in which only administrators can post messages).

How Telegram works

Telegram works from iOS and Android mobile devices, but once the account with the phone number is created, it can be run at the same time from a computer and tablets.

The conversations are automatically synchronized on all the devices where a Telegram session has been started, it is not necessary to have the mobile phone close to each other.

Furthermore, Telegram offers a great advantage over a direct rival such as WhatsApp. This is its function that allows you to configure a username, so that it is not necessary to share the phone number to contact other people on Telegram.
