WhatsApp may be the most popular messaging app in the world, but some question the amount of privacy offered by the service, especially if we are looking at the recent issues faced by Facebook. There are excellent alternatives, and Telegram is has been growing fast in the last years. Read below to learn more about the app and its features. Now, Telegram 5.6.2 rolled out with some bug fixes and improvements.
Telegram features
- Speedy – A unique protocol backed by several data centers makes Telegram the fastest messaging service in the world.
- Unified – Users can access their messages from any device and at the same time. If you start to write a message on your smartphone, you can finish it on your laptop and send it without trouble.
- No space limitation – Send any files, regardless of the type or size. The chat history will be backed for your convenience without the need to consume valuable storage space on your device.
- Safe and protected – The app was developed to provide the most significant level of security to its users. The entire data content of the app, including chats, groups, media files, and other, are encrypted by using a high-performance and high-security 256-bit AES encryption and 2048- RSA encryption. The service is made even more secure by the use of Diffie-Hellman key exchange. The level of encryption is on par with the one used by the military, and users can rest assured that no one will be able to access their data.
- Optimized for social interaction – Groups with up to 200,000 members can be created. Sharing large files is secure, and tech-savvy users have the option to automate some tasks by using bots.
- Works everywhere – By using a very efficient data transmission protocol, Telegram will work even in areas with lousy signal coverage.
