Telegram — Fast, Secure & Synced Messaging

Telegram is a fast, secure messaging app designed to keep your conversations, media, and files synced across all your devices. With more than 1 billion active users, Telegram brings powerful communication tools together in one simple experience.

Fast Messaging

Telegram is built for speed, connecting users through a distributed network of data centers around the world. Send messages quickly and stay connected even when your mobile connection isn't at its best.

Synced Across All Your Devices

Access your Telegram messages from your phone, tablet, or computer at the same time. Telegram apps work independently, so you don't need to keep your phone connected.

Start writing a message on one device and continue from another without losing your conversations or data.

Share Media & Files

Send photos, videos, documents, and other types of files directly through your chats. Your cloud-based chat history can remain available across your devices without requiring your entire message history to be stored locally.

Secure by Design

Telegram is built with security and privacy in mind. Its messaging infrastructure uses a combination of encryption technologies, including 256-bit symmetric AES encryption, 2048-bit RSA encryption, and Diffie–Hellman secure key exchange.

Free & Open

Telegram provides a documented API for developers and offers open-source applications and verifiable builds, allowing developers and users to inspect and verify the software.

Powerful Communities

Create large group conversations and communities, share files, and use bots to automate specific tasks or provide additional functionality.

• Create group chats with up to 200,000 members.
• Share large videos and documents.
• Send different file formats, including DOCX, MP3, and ZIP files.
• Use bots for specialized tasks.
• Coordinate communities and teamwork.

Reliable Messaging

Telegram is designed to use as little data as possible while maintaining reliable communication. It is built to continue working even when you're connected through weaker mobile networks.

Express Yourself

Make conversations more personal with powerful photo and video editing tools, animated stickers, emoji, customizable themes, and a broad sticker and GIF ecosystem.

• Edit photos and videos before sharing.
• Use animated stickers and emoji.
• Customize the appearance of the app with themes.
• Discover and use stickers and GIFs.

Simple to Use

Despite its extensive collection of features, Telegram keeps its interface clean and straightforward. Start messaging, sharing, and communicating without complicated setup.

Privacy Matters

Telegram puts a strong emphasis on privacy. You can delete messages you've sent or received for both sides of a conversation, and Telegram states that it does not use your personal data to show you advertisements.

Secret Chats

For conversations requiring additional privacy, Telegram offers Secret Chats. These conversations use end-to-end encryption so that messages can be read only by their intended participants.

Secret Chat content can also be configured to self-destruct automatically from participating devices. This supports disappearing messages, photos, videos, and files.

One Messaging App, Many Possibilities

From private conversations and group chats to large communities, file sharing, bots, stickers, and synchronized messaging across devices, Telegram combines everyday communication with powerful tools for communities and collaboration.

Fast. Secure. Private. Synced everywhere.
