(Function () {(‘review-app-page-desktop’);}); Telegram is an online messaging app that works in the same way as popular messaging programs WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. You can send your contacts separately or create groups of up to 200,000 contacts to share text messages, voicemails, multimedia files, stickers and GIFs. You can also make encrypted voice calls from end to end. However, Telegram is also a content provider; users can configure or subscribe to other people’s channels to send and receive public multimedia messages. Broadcasts via channels can reach an unlimited number of subscribers and only administrators have the right to post. Channel subscribers receive one message on their phones per new message. As an encrypted messaging application, Telegram is widely used as an alternative to WhatsApp due to the supposed higher level of privacy. The platform has end-to-end encryption (but is not applied by default) and distributed messages in the cloud. Developers also claim that they do not sell or share user data with third parties, so there is no advertising in the app. Mobile phone users can also create secure secret conversations with “self-destructing” messages (disappearing after a certain time), giving you a new level of privacy. All users can also set that their Telegram account automatically destroys itself and everything associated with it, if they do not log in at least once during a certain period (users can set it in the privacy settings).

More than one messaging program What sets Telegram apart from other instant messaging programs is its channels, a form of one-way messaging where administrators can send messages to an unlimited number of subscribers. Channels on Telegram may be available privately or publicly. Administrators can set an alias and a permanent URL so that all users can find and join the channel. All Telegram userscan create a channel. Many people create channels that revolve around certain areas of interest or topics that they want to update their followers. Increasing public and public bodies share their content across channels – these official accounts can be a confirmation cross symbol for their channels. Although channels area great way to receive and share information, for the first time Telegram users, it can be difficult to find channels to follow. There are three ways to find a public channel on Telegram; by searching for keywords that use the global search function in the app, receiving a link to the channel in a sent message from another user and following the channel in that way, or through online listings on websites that offer channel directories. To create a channel yourself, click on New channel under the hamburger menu. You must name your channel, create a (optional) URL and invite contacts to follow your channel.

Telegram has marketed itself as a more secure version of WhatsApp, but it has been criticized by information security experts who say the cryptography has not been tested. It is important to remember that conversations are not encrypted from start to finish by default. Instead, mobile device users should select the secret chat feature to ensure that only they and the intended recipient can read the message. Other experts add that Telegram’s encryption is not secure enough to be used by people who transmit highly sensitive information.
