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.

Telegram is definitely the best and fast developing messaging app ever. And I want to mark some suggestions wich I figure out wile using telegram over 2 years already. 1. Video calls. I am sure that you work on it guys, and we will see it very soon. 2. Possibility to create groups on main screen for people, groups, channels and bots. It will make telegram using experience better I sink. 3. Calls activity in telegram is nice and comfortable, but it remembers very much the same from watsapp... :))) I think if you redesign it a little bit it will be great. And please, please, please remove the telegram icon during call from up-left corner of the screen. It is unnecessary and annoyingand also remembers watsapp... :)))
This "was" the best messaging app in the market. Unfortunately, now i can't say the same. Telegram has some unique features but needs to be better than whatsapp. Phone call feature was requested too much time, but ignored till whatsapp implements. It was too late to add it. Still doesn't have video calls, message read status, group secret chats status updates etc. You are working hard but not to the exact correct direction. Anyway i use the app and like it. Hope it will be better

I really loved this app. It works really smooth and i think it's better than whatsapp, with a huge load of features, especially self destructing messages. But it would be even greater if you add chat themes with a lot of customizing option to make conversations more personalised. Also can you add a Nudge! feature like in hike because I think that's really fun. And please increase the size of the emoticons 'cause they look microscopic and I just can't see they're so small. And please add video messaging feature. And yeah add text status they look cute. 😉 Overall, the best app for messaging but needs more features.

I really like Telegram, but for the last few weeks, I have been having troubles sending voice messages ang photos. The only thing I can send without any problems is text. There is also a great delay in voice call. I thought I finally had a solid messaging app until it started misbehaving. UPDATE: Although I did not check on the settings that all files sent on Telegram be saved to gallery, it keep saving to my gallery! It is eating my data. Please fix this.

Really a gr8 app. I love this app because, its something more than just a communication app...it does a lot more than that. Telegram is making changes in communication field. Channels...secret chat...speed ... file downloading... cool... I like it more than other apps... Gr8 Team Telegram.

This is app is so good i have literally forced people into using it. If there was a recommendation section in the app that would have been really great. For now, please include the feature of googling through the app itself. Something like #google match updates. Keep up the good work and i will continue forcing people XD.

WARNING! Telegram autostarts your video and sends it. Did it to me on Android, and on friends' iOS devices. There is no feedback ability, and "support" is volunteers based and haven't replied to any of my three comments/questions after more than 4 days. What's good: very fast and easy to use image transfer, that always works; in addition one can reply straight from Android Wear device.
Its alright but really needs an update on a lot of things. if you're looking for something that has a few more features and stays away from stuff that doesn't even work here, get plus messenger instead.
This app is good for secret chatting,the main disadvantage of this is downloading files like videos,music etc is very slow compared to whatsapp and also not showing the downloading percentage or details its just only showing rounding the file. Another problem is no option to clear group history....
The greatest messenger app, in every platform, user-friendly, brisk, secure, and totally free, with huge number of functionalities. But people almost use apps like whatsApp which is laggy and needs keeping the cell phone on during using its desktop application!
I've started using Telegram recently. It's one of the best social messaging app that I came across. Only one thing is missing. Clear all messages option that we've seen in whatapp is missing in the app where we can clear all message in a group or personal chat just by clicking a button. I hope to see the option in the next update. Good work Team Telegram.
One complaint: the iPhone emojiis are so terrible compared to the android ones... It's a real piss-off that all emojiis get converted to the iPhone version...should stay the way they were sent. I didn't think I needed another messaging app...but love this! Good Bye FB Messager and all its BS, hello Telegram!
This app was an alternative (to me) in the past but now it's what I use all the time!! My favourite feature is the video clip messages. Sadly there is no way to backup everything (or I didn't see. If it got such a feature, let me know how to do so)
Please consider my Recommend there is Channels and the members can like post optionally then can spread some comments under each post issued by admins just like Instagram and other apps like this... please take a consider to admins of channels can have equal access to all features not only the creator please attend to my suggestion for example another admin can take full control of the channel like creators.isnt good??
I've been looking up for all the features of Telegram and I encountered a bug. When I go into shared media and switch to any other section like shared music, I can't open the drop down menu again to switch between those shared sections. Please fix this ASAP... It is causing a lot of hassle.
Notifications REALLY aren't working. I hate this new popup notification thing, but that's the only way I can be somewhat sure I'll get a notification (it still barely works). I just want notifications in the notification bar, for every message I get. Shouldn't be a lot to ask for.
Good overall, just needs the ability to report should an individual become an issue have the report for spam option is ignored. Without it, people become real nuisance. Blocking can only work for so much, and if a person needs to have their account reported, the option needs to be there AT ALL TIMES.
Telegram is boring, chats clutter no way to categorize, Telegram is stupid to find whether a contact is mutual or not, however non-mutual contact has endless right and time to report the sender and Telegram bans you even based on fake reports. If you send a secret chat request to others, no way to cancel it. When other party joins the secret chat, Telegram does not inform you.
Three developers must provide a method of downloading files through telegram in which the download files are saved as per their exact names/label from the group/channel from which they were downloaded. Its irritating to see that all the downloaded files are saved with their names/labels replaced by 10-15 digit number. It's so hectic to find a particular document among several dozens. The method of saving files should be rectified accordingly Rest the application is satisfactory no doubt in it
Great app, but has a bug on pop ups. When selecting text for further actions, the pop up screen displays options in a language that seems like Arabic, which should be showing "copy" and "cut"
I like this app however... I keep having an issue where I'm not getting a message or notification about a message until 3 hours later. It doesn't happen often but it's still happening and can be quite annoying.
WHY DOES MY MESSAGES KEEP LAGGING. THEY TELL ME I have TOO FAST ACTIVITIES? AND MY mSG ALWAYS DONT GET SENT UNLESS I UNINSTALL
With every update, this app becomes even more perfect. It's incredibly intuitive and customizable. No communication app has the number of features built in as telegram and they all function seamlessly. On top of texting and video chat, it allows you to search for gifs and videos within the app. You can also make your own stickers, or download a huge selection of stickers. It has has voice messaging and video messaging. Voice and video messages are probably my favorite telegram features. Sending a video message through telegram as now as easy as it is in snapchat, but is not limited to 10 seconds. Also, you can choose between either holding a button or clicking it to hands-free record video and voice messages, something no other messaging allows (as far as I know). With every update, telegram improves and implements new features before other messaging apps. The developers of telegram clearly want to make the best possible communication app. Can you tell that I love telegram? I love it. You should download it.
2 updates in a matter of days,too many apps doing this now,if they tested them thoroughly before releasing them they wouldn't need to do this!edit:21/05/17 not even a week has passed & we've had a 3rd update in a matter of days!!
Incredibly Great App. Sure to say, WhatsApp will die. if people install this app at least for once, they will leave any other platform. I really liked 2 awesome features: 1. Chat yourself - its kind a free cloud storage without limits. 2. Bots - they are super duper awesome.
The best phone/PC messaging client, period. Works perfectly, near no lag, and you can share files, voice chat, leave voice messages... It does everything. The only complaint I can think of is that I can't figure out a way to disable notifications for group chats like I can do with Discord.
Sometimes my notifications don't pop up and also, on group chats could there be some sort of thing that could let us know who read the messages? Video messages look vertically squished, and lastly, whenever you take a photo through Telegram, it always appears to be really sharp and edgy. Please fix.
Great messaging app. I have given it a 4 star because of one problem. Messages sent by others in a chat cannot be deleted, which by the way, is possible in WhatsApp. If the developers can add this feature, then, I would say it is as good as WhatsApp, if not better.
It's one of the most beautiful and reliable messaging app. With lots of features, security and no restrictions. Good work Developers.
Long delays in receiving messages are ruining the experience of using Telegram for me and the people I've convinced to try it out. We're all on Android devices. I love everything about the Telegram app and its ever growing list of cool features, but I'm back to mostly using SMS so I can be sure the recipient gets the message ASAP, not 10 mins later, a few hours later, or-- what prompted me to write this review a few minutes ago-- 24 hours later. I'm not uninstalling yet. I'll be watching for any update that addresses this issue.
When we download file. We cant understand how much one has download. Please give digital manner so that we can know how much its completed & left resp.
It's a pretty good app but lately I haven't been getting notifications on time. It can take anywhere from 20 minutes to a few hours for me to know someone messaged me. Almost completely breaks an otherwise good app.
The custom sound on notifications do not work! Just the status bar shows notifications but no light,sound or vibration work and my phone isnt on silent.
This is by far better then messenger and hangout or any other chat based app. I would highly recommend using it for friends and family. It can be used for anything even sending large pdf files.
The newest update doesn't give me push notifications. I have to open the app to see if anyone messaged me.
I would've love this app; very useful and easy to use, if it weren't for the bug where even though you are not globally banned, or limited, you can't enter a group. Also, I tried entering a certain group, but it was said I can't, coz I already exited the group, and I can't go back. Even inviting me back isn't possiblr. So crappy and buggy, and to make everything worst, the fvcking developer is not replying. 2 weeks, and still no answer from them about this issue.
Great messenger with helpful features! All that I need and all that can help me in one stop! Please add two tabs for greater usability. The first for messages, second for channels/bots.
So there are two major problems that I have trouble with this app. One of them is I can not get notifications unless I am in the app, my girlfriend sends me a message and the only way I get the notification is if I open up the telegram app which becomes pointless to even have notifications. The other major problem is I can not connect to the watch app. When I open up the app or asks for my phone number but when I type it it says the number in invalid. I have a different number to the sim card than what was built into the phone but it should still be able to recognize my number if the phone app was able to. I have a Galaxy S8 and the Hauwei Watch 2. If you can fix these problems I will definitely rate a lot better, but for now I will be switching back to whatsapp until then.
This app is nice of course but it can't be compared to WhatsApp because it does not has all the features that WhatsApp has like keeping a status,adding a photo status doing video calling and all the best thing in it was stickers it has very interesting stickers so 4stars for that only if you can improve it I may give you 5 stars but liked it!!!😄😄
Itz good but plz give details about the downloading files... The downloaded percentage is didn't shown.. plz give updates for this correction i kindly request
