Why Telegram is Different
Telegram connects people with speed and security. But it's more than just messaging—it's a new era of communication.
Secure & Private
Telegram messages are heavily encrypted and can self-destruct. Secret Chats use end-to-end encryption to ensure that a message can only be read by its intended recipient.
Fast & Reliable
Telegram is the fastest messaging app on the market, connecting people via a unique, distributed network of data centers around the globe.
Synced Everywhere
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.
Powerful Groups
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.
Customizable
Telegram has powerful photo and video editing tools, animated stickers and emoji, fully customizable themes to change the appearance of your app.
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 and Secure by Default
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.
