Telegram is a cloud-based instant messaging service similar to Facebook Messenger, which supports multimedia messages, voice and video calls and files of any type (doc, zip, mp3, etc.). A strong focus on encryption and deregulation, combined with its multi-data centre infrastructure and encryption makes it a very secure and fast messaging service.

Telegram differentiates from its rivals by allowing users to access accounts from multiple devices. It can be used on all your devices at the same time — messages sync seamlessly across any number of your phones, tablets or computers.

Telegram now has over 700 million monthly active users and is one of the 10 most downloaded apps in the world. (updated July 8, 2022)
