Very powerful social media, file sharing and communication tool

Telegram goes far beyond just communication. It is a school on its own. I have been blessed by telegram with very educative channels and groups. Telegram opened my business up to new client bases. Telegram has been a wonderful app for me. I am subscribed to telegram channels that are very useful for me. Channels that post educational content, free courses, software applications, video tutorials etc. Because of the nature of my employment, it is imperative that I cultivate my professional network, and telegram provides me with the ability to do just that. It enables me to search for and join a variety of channels and groups of people. It provides a comprehensive range of features and capacities to choose from. I take great pleasure in putting it to use.

PROS

Completely unaltered media transfer is a feature it offers. Using the dancing emojis is a lot of fun. Owners of businesses may now respond to customer questions with the help of automated systems bots. It's a fantastic way to get the word out to a wider audience. In addition to groups, users may also join specific channels. Using this method, you can reach out to many more people. The robots help with a variety of critical processes. Data and file sharing have never been easier.  Compared to other messaging apps, it provides a better level of privacy and a plethora of extra features.

CONS

One person on his side can clear the chat between the two of you completely with no trace. I find this a little extreme. Telegram is still growing in popularity and this is limiting its use as you can make the most out of it by interacting with other telegram users

Reason for choosing Telegram

Telegram goes far beyond social communication. I have gained more from telegram that from any other social media platform

Reasons for switching to Telegram

Though I still use Whatsapp, I was looking for more, like channels, reaching a wider audience and connecting with a different people that we do not necessarily share contact. Telegram offered all that and more

An all-around excellent messenger

Overall this app was great for me, it has lots of great features which are helpful and other messengers lack or have taken from it. I personally believe it is the best messaging app currently available.

PROS

Telegram has a great privacy policy, it is completely ad free and all of its services are costless; including messaging, voice or video calls and more. Moreover, the app's prominent standpoint as a leading company in telecommunications services procedes from several advantages regarding maximum group capacity (200.000), minimum storage demand (less than 100mb for cellphones), cloud-based sync with unlimited storage , interoperability, chat and information encryption security, real time support and an option to set self-destructing messages. I would like to highlight its fantastic, swtichable image, video and audio quality, bearing in mind that other apps don't give the user as much room for personalization. It is interesting to note that the open code and API give Telegram scalibility too.

CONS

Video calls or specific media downloads may drain plenty of mobile data compared to other apps, although this might be related to the quality of the image. I can't say i noticed any major disadvantages.

Reasons for switching to Telegram

Whatsapp privacy policy is concerning and changing, its overall features and functions are suboptimal compared to Telegram.

Telegram Connections

PROS

Telegram facilitates communication across my community in a consistent and engaging way. Where my community has different devices and messages are sometimes not delivered across the operating systems, Telegram has fixed that problem and made communication a successful endeavor. There are also many ways to personalize the communication in engaging ways.

CONS

I have only used the mobile version of Telegram, so I find the notifications of new or potential contacts to ping often. However, there is a desktop application and I wonder if that would be a way to fix that quickly.

Reasons for switching to Telegram

I have been able to successfully switch from the built-in message app and the Signal app to Telegram.

I am very impressed with the quality and features that telegram offers. Since using it, I have found that I am much more communicative than via text messaging, and the share button is a godsend.

A simple and effective tool for communication

Telegram was one of several products reviewed by our ICT department to use as a backup form of communication for service outages and such and has so far been a good choice. It has allowed to remain in constant communication during service disruptions either through IM or voice chats and has allowed us to exchange information quickly. It is a clear winner for communications apps compared to others such as Slack or WhatsApp.

PROS

Telegram is a free app which is incredibly useful when a non-profit such as us are looking for a communications platform and don’t have much money to play with. As well as being able to instant message contacts through Telegram, you can also call them and send files or pictures, which makes it useful for us when we in the department need to share information quickly. The developers seem to push out regular updates to fix bugs and add in new features, and there are options to use secure end-to-end encryption for messages. There are a number of ways to access Telegram, including through iPhone/Android apps, a Windows 10 app, and a web-based app. Another benefit is that Telegram is not tied to any other services (such as Whatsapp is tied to Facebook, or Teams is tied to Microsoft) so there are no other less-useful features bundled with the app – it is purely a communications tool, which makes it suitable for business use.

CONS

There are very few drawbacks to using Telegram as a communications tool. There is currently no video call function, although I have no doubt it will be added in soon as the developers seem to be pushing out regular updates to add features and improve performance. Connecting phone contacts to Telegram requires providing permission to the app for access, although this would be true of all messaging applications not just Telegram.

Reasons for switching to Telegram

We were originally using WhatsApp as our out-of-work communications tool, however due to recent news about Facebook's privacy concerns we decided to move over to Telegram which has proven just as (if not more) useful.

The messaging app for detailed communication

Started a telegram group to communicate specific, but non-working hours coding and development-related questions to one another. Very effective tool for complex, small-group communication.

PROS

Message logs with individuals or groups may be searched for keywords or phrases, without getting lost or bloating your phone storage. No more scrolling for days to look for a line you needed to re-read.

CONS

This software was associated with unsavory groups acting in opposition of world governments in the Middle East due to its privacy and extensive features, which made the users at my company uncomfortable using it.

Reason for choosing Telegram

Telegram had less of an official presence and capacity, which encourages using it on personal smartphones over non-peak working hours.

Reasons for switching to Telegram

Hangouts made the interface pretty, but very difficult to search through when looking for words or phrases from the past.

Telegram, one of the best applications for fast messaging.

Telegram, a clean experience, is very easy for new users to understand the interface and will not be overwhelmed by anything. It provides fast and reliable lines of communication essential for businesses. I use Telegram to manage client conversations individually or in private groups. You can even schedule publications on Telegram, which is very useful for performing many repetitive tasks.

PROS

Tribute to the Telegram team, I can say that you are the best. First of all, you can install the same account on several different phones or computer media. This gives me great convenience, because sometimes I forget my smartphone and I can access the mail via my laptop without any worries. In addition, it allows me to download software or documents or music from the Telegram cloud very easily. In short, the group chat features are very nice, like polling and fixed messages and nice emojis. I love it ! ! Telegram's many functions make life easier for professionals or individuals. I highly recommend Telegram.

CONS

The only problem at the moment is that many people don't use Telegram too much. Let's hope that they also encourage professionals, especially businesses, to use Telegram as an interactive means of communication to contact their clients. It should also sometimes be noted that video calls or downloads of specific media can consume too much mobile data compared to other applications, although this may be evidenced by the quality of the image.

Reasons for switching to Telegram

WhatsApp has been acquired by Facebook. Now all of our Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram contacts are linked and I am not satisfied with the security and privacy of personal data. Also, in WhatsApp, the number of participants in our group is very limited.

Telegram, the only gram you should be using for your messaging !

Overall I am an avid fan of this messaging service and highly recommend it to anyone out there who wants to talk to their friends, their employee's or even family members. While the UI may not be as colourful as some of the other messaging services out there I think it is serviceable and fits with the theme of this app.

PROS

Security, Ease of use, Visual Aesthetic, Speed/Efficiency, ability to add over 200 people for 1 group chat, oh and last but not least it's free. It is quite possibly one of the best messaging services out there that has end to end encryption but unlike other messaging services this one doesn't leach your private information and sell your data.

CONS

There really are no downsides to this product I can think of other than account recovery which is an issue i ran into. If you lose your phone number you have lost access to your account. I also think another such con could be the number of people on the service. I think over time the number of people using this service grows day by day but I still think popular messaging services like whatsapp and facebook messenger have a much larger customer base and this makes it difficult for people to dive into a new messaging service.

Reason for choosing Telegram

Google hangouts is another such service that is used by fewer people and the ui design that is implemented in said app is not so user friendly.

Reasons for switching to Telegram

Security is my main priority and I think it's a valued part of modern society that is mostly left ignored as big companies sell your soul for a few pennies.

Best Secure Chat Application

I use Telegram daily and a big fan of it. The security feature makes it super awesome. I Would surely recommend to everyone.

PROS

Telegram is easy to use chat application. The key thing is you can hide your phone number in Telegram which is the most powerful thing in the app. Secondly, you can find many relevant channels of interest in the app. Also, the subscriber-based group makes it more comfortable for me as a Group Admin.

CONS

There is no prohibition on bad content which might not be suitable for the user experience. Also, a verification by Telegram is needed while sending some kind of files, as they might contain viruses. Also, a 10 seconds timer while sending messages in the group is very bad.

Reason for choosing Telegram

Fast & Reliable App for Team Communication and Business

I am very satisfied using Telegram for communicating with my team, business partners and even for personal messages. Highly recommended to those managing a growing number of teams and businesses.

PROS

Great for immediate updates and sending files! The entirety of your visits and records are saved on the cloud, and you can get to them whenever you like. Telegram has fantastic informing capacities, including video gatherings and messaging, voice chat or voice calls, and no impediment on the quantity of people in the chat rooms. It likewise empowers users to get to any channel or organization by browsing for it in the search box. I love that the number of people in the chat room is not limited to a specific number. It also assists you with building bots to help you with different errands etc. A lot of organizations, businesses or associations actually use it as a basic contact channel.

CONS

The only problem would be for account recovery if you lost your phone. Other than that a little more optimization in desktop features would come in handy.

Reasons for switching to Telegram

Its a little confusing and messy especially if you need to get back to important conversations.

be saely connected!

From my experience, Telegram aspires to be extremely safe and fast in order to link you with thousands of people, share a large number of photographs and videos, and allow you to participate in group conversations (up to 1 GB), which is really great. When it comes to efficiency, Telegram significantly outperforms its competitors. In addition, there are a plethora of third-party bots and services available that are both user-friendly and capable of integrating several technologies into a single solution.

PROS

Despite the fact that I had a hard time giving up WhatsApp, it was Telegram's outstanding security, notably the Secret Chat feature, which allows me to effortlessly encrypt messages, that finally convinced me to make the move. When it comes to messaging services, Telegram is well-known for its lightning-fast response times. The company's swift reaction in the form of instant help makes it possible for me to contact them in the event of a software failure. By selecting the Ask a question option from the settings menu, you will be able to connect to a live assistance system. I appreciate the fact that I can confidently send communications that include images, audio, and video, knowing that they will be delivered without incident. Aside from phone calls, the service provides me with the ability to communicate privately with another user through the use of an encryption service that protects all texts. The service, while it encrypts each individual discussion from beginning to end, does not provide the same level of service to all groups and communication channels.

CONS

The fact that Telegram restricts the simultaneous transmission of several files is disappointing; however, I would welcome the ability to pick and send many files at the same time, as is the case with the vast majority of file-sharing services on the internet. Owing to the dependency on phone numbers in the contact list, as well as the requirement for authorization to access contacts on mobile devices, the Telegram for PC program may never be completed due to the lack of private discussions. This feature can only be accessed through my mobile device.

Why did I switch to Telegram

My experience in general has been quite good, aside from the inconvenience with the support, I have no more complaints about the application.

PROS

After using the most popular messaging software, I decided to suggest that we give Telegram a try, it seemed like a more private and secure solution. End-to-end encryption gives communication a lot of security, especially when it comes to sensitive information and this is extremely valuable when you have a confidentiality agreement with your client. Another thing that I like about this program is that the shared files do not take up space on the device, they stay in the cloud. Groups can also be very helpful when looking for specific information, just put the topic you are looking for to find a suitable group. The rest of the features are similar to the other application, so Telegram has a clear advantage over it.

CONS

Perhaps what I like least about this software is the lack of official support, the only support is from the community and many times it can take days to answer any question or simply never answer. I had a problem when changing my phone number and there was already a telegram account associated with that number, when I asked for help to be able to register my account to my new number, I did not have an answer.

Reasons for switching to Telegram

Because Telegram has practically the same functions as WhatsApp and certain advantages that make it a better option

I use Telegram both on my PC and my Phone, It has everything I want for my professional communications with clients, and my casual chat with friends, to even joining channels that provide contents that I'm interested in.

One of the best things about Telegram is that it's multiplatform and you don't have to use it on your phone, also the ability to use multiple accounts and even add people you don't have their phone numbers to groups. However, of course the most important thing is privacy, and not just for your conversations but also for file sharing, search, and your own data. I can switch easily between my work account and my personal/social account; I can upload any type of files with almost any size fast and easy without any hiccups.

Telegram: The Swiss Army Knife of Messaging Software

Telegram has helped a lot in my graphics business. I was able to join channels that allow me to find freelance graphic design jobs. I was able to deliver most of the paid works on Telegram because I could send documents in their actual, uncompressed sizes. And because Telegram's local and cloud backup feature was so efficient, most of my work, messages with clients and sent and/or received files were always saved across all devices.

PROS

The main thing about Telegram, of course, is too many features! For messaging software, Telegram offers more and does more. I can delete messages at any point in time for both me and the person I'm messaging. I can customize my interface with my preferred colour schemes (I am a huge fan of customization). I can search for channels that offer services on anything ranging from Movies, games, news about new trends and the latest graphic designs. And that is just the tip of the iceberg!

CONS

The irony is, that what I like most about Telegram is also what I like least. It has so many features that I forget it's primarily a messaging app. Also, the UI customization is quite complicated and hard to grasp, it took me quite some time to work my way around it. The PC app also does not have the feature to automatically resume downloads when they are cancelled for some reason. And the most common grouse almost every Telegram user has. It is not visually appealing.

Reasons for switching to Telegram

Simple, Telegram has way more features than WhatsApp and it was simply better for running and managing businesses. Profiles could be seamlessly edited to look like a business page on Telegram, but for WhatsApp, you had to download a whole other app for that. Also, Telegram is so much smoother and rarely hangs or freezes up. And it does not compress images and videos automatically, thereby maintaining the original file quality.

Telegram Review

Except for the little cons I mentioned I've been using the application since 2017 and I acknowledge that it's very useful for my different tasks I am assigned to on the application.

PROS

Telegram is a straightforward application (software) for texting and communicating with other people with an interface that is very much like a: "What-you-see-is-what-you-get" it's also one of the dominant communication applications all over the world. And since some months ago we have witnessed an increasing number of new users from around the globe when another application know as WhatsApp made some decisions which did not suits its users. It's means that you get the much out of it when using the software. Many updates are still popping up, which makes users experience much more greater. It presents a useful and very simple texting system.

CONS

Like all Software products, Telegram has its eccentricities. It could be more interesting with some part of it withdrawn. The first point I would like to mention is about "the message deletion system on both side by one person" which is given to the two communicators. Sometimes, you might want to come back and use that message as a reminder or something to the person and telling him that once he/she had told you such a thing but you come back and see that the message has been deleted by the person for both of you. It should be by one side. The second point is about the "people nearby" system. Once activated unknown people would start texting you in disorder just because they can see you around. I Would suggest it may be withdrawn. The last part is a suggestion for you to create a way for users to make status that can be seen by any person with whom they have ever chatted even if they do not have his contact.
