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.
PROSCompletely 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.
CONSOne 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.
PROSTelegram 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.
CONSVideo 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
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.
CONSI 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.
