Description

Pure instant messaging — simple, fast, secure, and synced across all your devices. One of the top 5 most downloaded apps in the world with over 1 billion active users.
FAST: Telegram is the fastest messaging app on the market, connecting people via a unique, distributed network of data centers around the globe.
SYNCED: You can access your messages from all your phones, tablets and computers at once. Telegram apps are standalone, so you don’t need to keep your phone connected. Start typing on one device and finish the message from another. Never lose your data again.
UNLIMITED: You can send media and files, without any limits on their type and size. Your entire chat history will require no disk space on your device, and will be securely stored in the Telegram cloud for as long as you need it.
SECURE: We made it our mission to provide the best security combined with ease of use. Everything on Telegram, including chats, groups, media, etc. is encrypted using a combination of 256-bit symmetric AES encryption, 2048-bit RSA encryption, and Diffie–Hellman secure key exchange.
100% FREE & OPEN: Telegram has a fully documented and free API for developers, open source apps and verifiable builds to prove the app you download is built from the exact same source code that is published.
POWERFUL: You can create group chats with up to 200,000 members, share large videos, documents of any type (.DOCX, .MP3, .ZIP, etc.) up to 2 GB each, and even set up bots for specific tasks. Telegram is the perfect tool for hosting online communities and coordinating teamwork.
RELIABLE: Built to deliver your messages using as little data as possible, Telegram is the most reliable messaging system ever made. It works even on the weakest mobile connections.
FUN: Telegram has powerful photo and video editing tools, animated stickers and emoji, fully customizable themes to change the appearance of your app, and an open sticker/GIF platform to cater to all your expressive needs.
SIMPLE: While providing an unprecedented array of features, we take great care to keep the interface clean. Telegram is so simple you already know how to use it.
PRIVATE: We take your privacy seriously and will never give any third parties access to your data. You can delete any message you ever sent or received for both sides, at any time and without a trace. Telegram will never use your data to show you ads.
For those interested in maximum privacy, Telegram offers Secret Chats. Secret Chat messages can be programmed to self-destruct automatically from both participating devices. This way you can send all types of disappearing content — messages, photos, videos, and even files. Secret Chats use End-to-End Encryption to ensure that a message can only be read by its intended recipient.
We keep expanding the boundaries of what you can do with a messaging app. Don’t wait years for older messengers to catch up with Telegram — join the revolution today.

Appalling for privacy and safety

For an app that purports to be about privacy, security, and safety it is appalling and disgusting that your presence and use of the app is exposed to anyone who has simply added you to their contacts. Despite following suggestions online for hiding myself (which I had to go looking for, rather than them being the default), I
have now been contacted by multiple people that I long ago ended contact with but who have now been alerted to me being available and have contacted me against my wishes. APPALLING

It could have been better

This was the app we thought would save us from WhatsApp and messenger. But i don’t know if its through self sabotage or interference from others, this app now truly sucks. It is useless. It is terrible to use. For some reason it has restricted my account, and despite multiple appeals, nothing seems to have been actioned and this has been months. And like others here who has said that their account got hacked but Telegram has not even detected that, for some reason it has picked me. We need better apps to help us get free from the Meta stranglehold and dependency. This is not one. Unfortunately despite its many good points (from a few years ago, the current app is a sinking sand pit).
Anyone who is an app developer, here’s your chance to make something that helps humanity.

Inconvenient updated features..

I don’t like how they made the playlist’s playing song upside down. I can’t close the page with just one swipe like i could used to… Now, I have to scroll up all the songs in the playlist just to close the tab.
And I can’t see the background cover pic of the songs being removed too
Some updated features are very unnecessary and inconvenient!
They need to be fixed ASAP!

Telegram’s security and support are a complete failure.

My son account was hijacked, and the attacker now has full control. There is NO real way to recover or even delete the account because all login codes are sent inside the app — which I obviously no longer have access to. This is a broken, absurd system.
Support is practically nonexistent. I reported an active account takeover and ongoing scam risk, and got zero meaningful response. No urgency, no protection, nothing.
So let’s be clear:— No reliable account recovery— No emergency account shutdown option— No real customer support in critical situations
This is not just inconvenient — it’s dangerous. A platform that cannot protect users or respond to fraud in real time should not be trusted with personal data.
Absolutely unacceptable.

Extremely disappointed

My Telegram account was hacked and scammers used it to message my contacts asking for money and sending fake voting links. The suspicious activity continued for four days, with dozens of scam messages being sent, yet Telegram apparently detected nothing and did absolutely nothing to stop it. I contacted Telegram support immediately, but never received a single response, not even an acknowledgment. In the end I had to recover the account myself by logging in every 24 hours and figuring out the recovery process through friends, not Telegram. For four days criminals freely operated through my account while Telegram provided zero support and no meaningful security response. This is extremely dangerous for users and shows a serious failure in Telegram’s security and support systems.

This message could not be displayed on your device

The only messenger that protects the core liberal democratic value of free speech. Without free speech there is no democracy.
It is also the only messenger that does not cooperate with state security of any state, making it a truly neutral platform.
Apple, of course, does not share the core democratic value of free speech, so it censors channels on Telegram on its devices.
But Apple can only censor free speech on its on devices, you can still read the channels Apple tries to censor via Telegram’s web interface.

Great app! Just a minor bug with the new video player, the play/pause button sticks around when flipping through media but it’s only that button and not the rest of the features (the scrub bar, the settings share sheet etc.) having to tap multiple times to clear the screen every time.

Holding your finger on the app on the home screen til it wiggles doesn’t offer an uninstall option (dropdown box or x in the corner). In settings there is no uninstall option that I can see either.

You can’t even change anything on your profile unless payment has been done entitled act

Whoever owns this app is an absolute disrespectful person. You probably don’t have any people working for the app probably a few just your family probably most likely not surprised. Also I’m entitled to ask this questions what’s your background? What’s your nationality? Because if you’re not my type then what you’re doing is wrong you can’t do anything about this comment because you’re not entitled that you think you are. Yeah, I go over the limit just for this. Why because I’m more entitled than you and more respectful than you. At least I help out others You don’t do that. Honestly, if I decide to create my own app, I will let people do things for free. At least I don’t act entitled.

Not happy with this app

Since you decided to make it premium to select in settings in privacy settings, where I cannot choose just friends only for messaging, then I have no desire to ever use this app, ever again! That’s not even fair! I have no desire to receive messages from people who aren’t friends! Unless I give a known contact my details, I would prefer the option to change my settings in privacy without having to pay for premium! It’s obvious that you only care about money, over user comfortability.

Are you serious!?🤨

I got logged out of all my devices at once — phone, desktop, everything — and now I can’t even log back in. The system asks for a cloud password I never set, and since I didn’t add a recovery email (which I never knew I even needed), I’m basically locked out of my entire account for good.
There’s no way to prove my identity, no way to recover access, and no help from Telegram support whatsoever. Just a cold message saying “remember your password or reset your account.” Are you serious? I’ve had this account for years, with work contacts, clients, telegram premium and a channel I built from scratch — and it can all vanish in a second because of a broken recovery system?
How is it acceptable in 2025 that a platform this big has no real support, no verification options, and no human response? It’s infuriating. The security system isn’t protecting users — it’s punishing them. I didn’t forget my password; Telegram just decided to lock me out.

Outstanding app

Telegram is an outstanding messaging app that combines speed, security, and versatility! The interface is clean and easy to use, and I love how I can send messages, photos, videos, files, and even large documents instantly. Group chats, channels, and bots make it perfect for staying connected with communities and interests. End-to-end encryption and privacy features give peace of mind, and the app runs smoothly even on slower connections. Overall, Telegram is reliable, fast, and a must-have for anyone who values secure and efficient communication. Highly recommend!

Will deleting my telegram account affect the person’s phone number?

Hi. The app seems fine from what I can see, slightly annoying you can’t sign up via email but I get why. I signed up under another person’s phone number, and I’m nervous that deleting my account on telegram will delete all their contacts and messages on their phone. Wish there was something to clarify things like that. Will deleting my telegram account affect the contacts and messages on messages under the phone number?

Good evening, I know that you are well versed in the main work on Telegram, I would like to come with the opinion of a user of your platform and perhaps some advice on increasing the monetization of this platform and adding new functions for the convenience of users, namely the hard workers who use your platform, I see in your platform not just a messenger, but a progressive resource that can be used for good, to do good you need money, in any case I would be glad to cooperate with you.

A huge number of bugs on iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max

Telegram has serious issues on iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. Swipe gestures randomly stop working, making it difficult to navigate through chats. The app frequently crashes when searching for GIFs or browsing sticker packs. Additionally, GIFs do not load at all, regardless of internet speed (even on 5G). We tested this on multiple devices, and the issue seems to be exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro models. Please fix these bugs as soon as possible!

Loading and buffering videos are much slower after new updates, even there’s an option of preloading videos! And the other negative point is I don’t see the size of most videos anymore which is annoying and I had the option to choose whether to download and see that video or not! You’re making it more commercial I suppose which is not that pleasant for old users!

Review

I’ve been incredibly disappointed with this app after using it for some time. The customer support is virtually nonexistent—there’s no easy way to reach out when issues arise, and even when you do, the response is slow and unhelpful. The app is also filled with unverified content, leading to a frustrating experience where irrelevant and low-quality posts flood the platform. To make things worse, the app is plagued by bugs and frequent crashes, which severely hinder its usability. Each update seems to introduce more problems instead of solving existing ones. On top of that, the overwhelming number of ads feels invasive, making it clear the developers prioritize revenue over user experience. Overall, it’s been a disappointing experience, and I wouldn’t recommend this app until serious improvements are made.

Have an issue, support absent

There is a rotation issue on iPad, sometimes after sleep in the background and rotation, the app comes with the input text field i the middle, crossing the screen like the famous sony x-bar menu but there is no keyboard to input. Rotating the device forth and back clears the issue. If instead of rotating, i click on text field then keyboard is pulled up under the text input field, no change in layout.
Despite me using all sorts of their omnichannel support, it is a rudderless ship when it comes to iPad i guess…oh well

Telegram Sign-Up

I was very concerned that after initial download and sign up that I started receiving messages from unknown persons instantly. One claimed to be Mark Harmon - but his profile name had the first letter of his surname in lower case. I knew he was fake. He even sent a photo of the real Mark Harmon to me.
I deleted the App quickly after.
How did these people see me so quickly after I’d registered?
Apple - you need to ensure that these apps ASK YOU FIRST if you want to open new subscribers details to all and sundry! This is a priory privacy situation - get it right!
I don’t get angry, but you guys have riled me this time.

Apple are now censoring Telegram Channels

Mid March 2024 the Apple app for Telegram began censoring Channels it did not like. The sneaky trick Apple used was to display a message on the user’s iPhone , “Unfortunately, this channel couldn’t be displayed on your device.” Independent of the post the channel makes this will be the message Solle has made it impossible to view these channels however the Desktop App does make it possible by making it “possible” to show the channel IF you know to go to the Desktop Settings-Privacy and Security-Scroll Down to Sensitive content and then toggle “Disable filtering” indicating that Telegram themselves are colluding to Censor those put on a watch list; likely by Globalist Elites

You must buy premium to use or block you always

I’m afraid some Telegram users found your messages annoying and forwarded them to our team of moderators for inspection. The moderators have confirmed the report and your account is now limited until 10 Jan 2024, 00:13 UTC.
While the account is limited, you will not be able to do certain things on Telegram, like writing to strangers who haven’t contacted you first or adding them to groups and channels.
Your account will be automatically released on 10 Jan 2024, 00:13 UTC. Please note that if you repeat what got you limited and users report you again, the limitations will last longer next time. Subscribers of Telegram Premium have reduced times for initial limitations.

Camera doesn’t work

I’m using telegram since 2014 and I love it. The best app.
But since last update my camera in chats not working… picture is black for photo and video, back and front camera are black and video message is on loading too so no camera access.
I have iPhone 13 Pro Max with iOS 17 with full permission and it was working even on developer beta iOS but right now it’s not working.

User since 2015, and current premium supporter. I dislike the stories feature being added. I only want chat, not social media.
It feels like stories is being pushed in my face when I don't care about it and don't want it. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Good but not on crapple

If you have apple they like to stop you from viewing things they deem questionable. Looking at whats banned (facts)and whats not (gruesome to clown ppl) It’s obvious they have their own agenda.
However fellow crapple users… you can create a web link and add it to your home screen. Viola .. you can see them again.

Good app but some glitches

Telegram is a great app for chatting, I love that you can edit messages, delete them and schedule them. However, I have been using it for 3 years and the quality of the calls hasn’t really improved. Also I don’t get the point of paying for premium it seems kind of reduntant and the last thing I want to pay for is a messaging app

PLEASE FIX YOUR APP

I think having volunteer support people is not viable because there is no one we can contact for bugs to be fixed! There is no way for me to report a bug!
Ever since premium became available and the most recent updates, I have had more issues in telegram than ever. Why do messages not send at all? Why are people receiving my messages hours or a day later?
This includes text messages, voice notes and scheduled messages!! Basically the whole use of the app!
Even when both people are connected to the internet (and other internet-based apps work on their phone) and the app is showing the 1 tick that it is sent. When it’s actually not sent?! When one person sends a voice note or message - sometimes it just disappears into the abyss and never gets delivered at all! Or someone opens up their phone in the morning and suddenly there are heaps of messages from the day before that are only arriving on app open the next day. Last active time is also inaccurate at times.
It makes no sense that an ‘instant message’ is not being delivered to the receiver either at all or in a delayed manner. This isn’t good enough and frankly quite upsetting when you rely on the app to communicate. It is like missing entire days and chunks of conversations with people.
Likely will be switching to whatsapp in the very near future.

SPAM SPAM SPAM

Telegram's base functions are great, but the app is severely let down by a lack of an effective spam filtering strategy. Every 1-2 days I get included in spam conversations along with hundreds of other people.
When hundreds of unrelated people, who are not even in each others contacts lists, are being included in a conversation, surely that's a red flag that it's a spam conversation, and surely this is something that a basic algorithm could detect and prevent? But no, apparently not. Either that or Telegrams developers just don't care about the pervasive spam problem. Only 2-stars from me until the spam issue is fixed 😒

Contacts

I like using this app. But what I don’t like is that I haven’t given telegram access to my phone book to find friends yet the app somehow knows exactly when someone who is in my phone contacts joins and even ppl who have been deleted from my phone contacts pop up saying they have joined! Somehow telegram is accessing my phone book even though I have denied them permission 🤬

It’s perfect.

Telegram is the most impressive Messaging app I’ve ever used. Coming from Kik and Discord, I obviously can’t compare it to Whatsapp or Viber, but in my experience Telegram has been everything you could want.
It’s performant and battery conscious, even on my crappy iPhone5S.
It’s flexible. You can create group chats, group your chats, make secret chats, archive chats, all kinds of stuff.
It’s powerful. It’s got full integration allowing you to send files of any size and then, whatever they are, audio or picture or video, you can view or hear them in app. If they’re not audiovisual, it’s still a great fileshare service for moving documents or zips between phones and computers.
You get your own seemingly unlimited cloud storage, there’s a million features I don’t use or need that stay out of my way but are there if I need them, the size of the app is still small regardless of that.
The devs never stop squashing bugs and adding functionality where it’s needed, and they listen to users on what they should add.
I hate that Telegram has a bit of a stigma. As far as I’m concerned, it’s just THE best message app.

Nice app some bugs to fix

Please fix the following problems
- audio quality is mediocre
Voice echoes constantly on the speakers end
- voice volume tends to slowly dissipate becoming very hard to listen to the other party on the other side of the line. Every time the server is relayed you loose sound quality. It happens all the time. You and up using other VOIP apps unfortunately
- the cosmetics of the App are nice backgrounds, perks etc but voice transfer of files etc are always a dread and hard to work with. Have to rely on the other Apps to do this resulting in having to completely go back to the Facebook apps that work well. Thank you for trying to solve this ASAP
By the way signal is really cool too , ágain some things are not 100%

Great edit functions

This app has all the edit functions I never thought of but am so grateful for now that I have them. They seem so natural and intuitive and make me wonder why WhatsApp never thought of them! I would have given the app 5 stars but there’s still a lot of work to do with the photo and video upload and download functions. For work I have that needs video and photo upload and download I have to ( reluctantly) use WhatsApp still as otherwise work gets disrupted. I am so happy there is an alternative to the aggressive and arrogant invasive ness of FB/WA. As soon as Telgram developers fix the video and photo upload/download glitches it’s goodbye to WhatsApp for ever from me!

Enjoying this app and very similar to WhatsApp the only issue I have on my apple devices is that when I go to contacts and try to invite friends by tapping on the invite and want to share to others via the heart to other options, my devices hang and I have to power off and on to get back to chats .
I have written on your message to myself with this query ... no reply back?
Can this please be rectified.

Search function does not support asian languages

Personally, I value the stability this app offers in terms of call quality and all matters surrounding privacy (and stickers!). That being said, the search function is an absolute deal breaker for me. Having parents of asian origin who can only type in chinese, not supporting asian languages in the search function severely limits its use for me. I hardly think I am the only one having this issue, (as I see similar posts online), so I don’t see why the devs have been neglecting this issue for several years. As a mere consumer of this product one can only hope this review is seen by one of them, otherwise I’ll probably have to look elsewhere for a good messaging app.

Please allow Search 1 Contact/Group, then force/long press to Pin

Please allow Search 1 Contact/Group, then force/long press to Pin 📍.
Now it is impossible.
I have already All Pin 📍 full.
Here are my desired Steps
1. Yes All Pins are full
2. Search the Contact/Group I want to pin
3. force/long press to Pin 📍
4. Ask me which old Pin 📍 to replace
5. I quick view All old Pins with a Pop up small Window
6. Choose the old one I do not want
7. Replace with new Contact/Group as Pin 📍
Why it is Important?
Now I have removed the old pin 📍 myself.
I find the Contact I want to pin by Search.
I cannot force/long press to Pin 📍.
I have so many messages above that Contact/Group.
I have to manually scroll through All, then find, then Pin. Too hard.
I do NOT want to send messages to disturb him/her just to Pin 📍 him/her
Thank you very much🏖🌈🌸🌞❤️♻️♾
Best Regards🌞🏖🌌🛸🚴‍♀️❤️♻️♾🌸🦄️🦋🐳🐬🧸👫👩‍🚀

Voice bug

I love the this incredible app, however it has a very annoying bug. When you wanna hear a voice and close your ear to hear it from small speaker, app thinks your recording and stops the voice & even other contact thinks your taking voice endlessly.

Delay notifications & online status

Telegram is giving delay notifications, the message will be received but the notification sound and numbers were taking too long. Sometimes a single message will not be notified at all unless opening the app. This is so uncomfortable while using the app. The online status will show green longer even after exiting the app. It will take at least a minute to show offline even after exiting the app. This two issues have to be fixed.

Great app save for one issue

I have an issue on iOS, with the latest version of telegram installed
Sometimes when i tap on a notification from telegram it brings me to a black screen, showing nothing. This can be resolved by either pressing home, then tapping on telegram again (not restarting the app). Are there any ideas for a fixes or is this a known bug?

iOS Badges and more, broken

Seems more harm was done that good in this latest upgrade. Settings such as sounds associated with a contact seemed to all get changed and messed up. The badge on the iOS icon doesn’t seem to update sometimes and other times says ‘1’ when in fact there are say 7 messages. The self destruct timer on long running chats is not self destructing at all. Please bring back the previous version.

This app is one of the best I’ve used in a while and it’s great for the groups I’m part of. However I have a suggestion, I would like to be able to send the stickers I have on telegram in iMessage. Stickers are one of my favourite parts of telegram and I would love to be able to use them with the people that don’t have telegram. Telegram is a great app :)

channels and individual threads must be segregated

Channels, bots and individual threads must be segregated as the list of chats now is a complete mess and it’s difficult to navigate through hundreds of channels to locate an individual who texted you. Sometimes I can’t answer because I don’t see who texted me until I scroll all the way down the list. As someone mentioned before, would be nice to see Read and Unread messages at the top.
All the rest seems ok, much better than whatsapp which I’m trying to get rid of. Thanks Pavel for the great app!
