Pros and cons

Excellent features & cross-device compatibility. Works great on all devices, and has a lot of cool features really helpful in IM and community management.
I'm satisfied with the features and I always recommend it to my friends and relatives. It's easy to use and very secure.
Wire has reliably been advanced as the 'secured' educating option and it fulfills its name. It moreover gives a ton of significant blend features through its bot and channel APIs.
It also had a habit of not notifying you even if you have notifications on which was annoying and frustrating.
Desktop notifications can be sometimes annoying. Sometimes in desktop, notifications flood the screen and blocks other programs, which is annoying.
Some system errors are annoying at times, such as the search engine that does not work well at times, messages that do not send, and some less relevant ones.

Very powerful social media, file sharing and communication tool

Reviewed 2 years ago

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

Useful instant messaging ALSO for Business

Reviewed 3 years ago

I love this IM app. I'll raccomed it for Business (for provacy) but also for Private messaging. Great solution. REALLY RECOMMENDED!

Pros

It's a relly useful messaging application, you can create Channels, Groups and it's always updated. I can't remember a crash or any issue with servers. Great Privacy, ability tu send files (not olnly Photos or Videos), fast and secure. I used this apllication in most occaion to share Business documents, and realized also a channel to share offers and promotion to all my clients. Really useful! Cross Platform (iOS, macOS, Win, Android...) really amazing! The GREATEST feature is that you don't need a connected phone to use it, it works on you desktop/tablet also if your Phone is offline. You can "chat with yourself" to save separately anything.

Cons

Great integration, but sometimes Desktop Applications lacks few optimization and functions. Nothing serious, but sometime it will help.

Telegram Needs a Lot of Work to be an Elite Messenger App

Reviewed 5 years ago

It honestly feels like a task to open this software up each day and I always have all the negative aspects on the top of my mind every time because I feel Telegram doesn't really care about their users or they'd rebuild the entire software in a way that is visually appealing, easy to navigate, scam/spam free, extra features and with easy support and training. Right now the main reasons I use this software are because all my cryptocurrency family uses it and there's some vendors I work with. Other than that, it nearly gives me a panic attack opening this software daily.

Pros

All my cryptocurrency members and family are using this app which is the main reason I started using it in the first place. It has good marketplace features. It has great privacy options and the ability to call users. I like creating groups and managing them within this app. Bots can help the business a lot and sometimes I do find legit vendors that are great to work with.

Cons

There are many things this software needs to do to improve itself. First, navigation is HORRIBLE!! It's so impossibly difficult to navigate through all the groups and personal chats to find relevant chats. Some of which were buried for weeks and I didn't even realize it. How about some sort of organizing feature? This alone NEEDS TO HAPPEN or I will look elsewhere for a better chatting software. Second,...

Instant messaging at its finest

Reviewed 5 months ago

Telegram has truly simplified my daily routine and made it so much more organized. I have been using this app for a while now and it has become an indispensable part of my daily life. I really like its intuitive interface, customizable features like stickers, GIFs which adds more fun to my chats, and the cloud storage capacity which is simply amazing. Overall, Telegram is the best thing that ever happened to instant messaging and I'd highly recommend it to anyone.

Pros

Telegram has a lot of amazing features which I really love. The ability to share large files of up to 2gb, and to customize my experience on the app is so satisfying. I also love the fact that I can have groups or channels with up to 200k members, this feature is rare nowadays and it makes telegram to really stand out. It's security and cloud based storage gives me peace of mind knowing that I can easily access my chats from other devices.

Cons

Honestly, there's not a lot wrong I would say about Telegram though I would like for a way to stop malicious bots from messaging me to prevent spamming, I think that would be a nice feature to add.

Telegram allows for fast & efficient communication lines that is critical for the business. I would definitely recommend it to other business owners as an alternative from the conventional apps like Viber or Whatsapp.

Pros

Telegram is a great 'messenger' type communications tool that is widely unknown and underused. Something that is really great is that you can use it on your phone and on your computer. This may not sound like much but when you are responding to emails and also telegram messages, this feature makes a huge and valuable difference.

Since you can automatically exchange info with a contact on Telegram once the usual permissions are granted, you risk having information from your phone leaked to the other party.

Telegram is the only app i need for chat platform.

Reviewed 4 years ago

Oh how should i elaborate? it's vast, the experience, the usability, the ease of access, everything is helpful no matter if you are a chat expert or just getting started everything is and will be awesome. We are constantly using telegram bot API to fetch our panel tasks and operate them with webhooks everything linked together with telegram.

Pros

Everything, yes, i like everything about Telegram, not matter if it's the end-to-end encyption or the developer API everything is God Level and crafted with ease of mind. The Bot API is even more amazing making it easier to integrate telegram bots with our own panel for easier operational tasks. Did i meantion it's cross-plattform? and your chats are stored with strong encryptions in the cloud, it's just a top tier product.

Cons

nothing, every part of it is amazing you can utilise the public API to build a platform for your own need and requirement while enjoying the security telegram provides. The thing i miss in telegram is just a minor feature and that's TOTP 2FA nothing else.

Also the ability to have as many members as possible in groups and channels has been a huge benefit to me since I started using this app. It has allowed me to have a massive reach and thus has given my business a significant boost in terms of sales.

Pros

Why adopt this software? First of all, I like the fact that the conversations are totally secure. Telegram is one of the leaders in instant messaging on smartphones. Sending is very fast and there is very little loading time. I like the fact that you can start a conversation on your phone and continue it on your computer.

Cons

No video feature. I've been waiting for their update for years, but I don't think they have any intention of putting in a video feature. I also don't like the bots and spam that telegraph, it really causes my app to flood, and is one of the reasons I ask my friends to switch back to Viber. In addition, there is no possibility of adding stories compared to its direct competitor, Whatsapp, which gives the possibility of sharing photos or videos of moments. slow reconnection during conversations, not easy to find me when it is a message quoted in group conversations, I have not found a way to easily respond to messages from the notification bar.

Review on Telegram

Reviewed 3 years ago

Overall Telegram has a lot to improve on the builder's side since most users seem to like it at the beginning but eventually become fed up of it due to the many scams and spams. So, many tend to uninstall this program with time. It has great features but the negative aspects seem to be higher than the positive. The interface and ease of use to a beginner is all amazing but honestly it has a lot to develop.

Pros

Practically a cool software that has zero adds. It has an easy to use interface and amazingly attractive emojis and stickers which are extremely entertaining compared to the others of the type. Also telegram allows unlimited file size when it comes to file sharing. Compared to the other programs of the same category, telegram has reached an outstandingly higher level of communication.

Cons

A big drawback I see is that not all countries are allowed access to telegram. This makes people choose other programs over Telegram since in the modern world, friends and family seem to spread all over the world. Also, there is a noticeable amount of scams wandering within this program and I don't see that as a positive outcome. If these few drawbacks are fixed, Telegram would be a cooler software to use.

Telegram for work group communication hub

Reviewed 3 years ago

I began using telegram as a medium of communication since it was widely used at my workplace. Telegram is one of my favorite apps because it is simple to use and needs little data and storage on my computer. The software backs up almost all of your data to the cloud and ensures that your system runs smoothly. It is one of the best communication platforms for "only two" or even an entire business. There is no restrictions on the types of content that can be exchanged and stores in the cloud storage so that I can retrieve them at any time.

Pros

All of your chats and files are saved on the cloud, and you can access them at any time. Telegram has excellent messaging capabilities, including video conferences and texting, audio text and audio calls, and no limitation on the number of users in chat rooms and networks. It also enables users to access any channel or network by browsing for it in the search box. It also helps you build bots to assist you with various tasks such as filling out the forms, etc. Many businesses and organizations still use it as a simple contact channel.

Cons

The only disadvantage I see is in the area of account recovery. Which, following the loss of your phone number, seems to have resulted in the complete loss of your account as it will asking for verification codes that are send to the phone number and no access will be granted to the account without the code.

Best Secure Chat Application

Reviewed 3 years ago

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.

The indespensibility of Telegram in modern day communication

Reviewed 3 years ago

My overall experience with the use of Telegram has been amazing, making communication seamless and readily available with internet access.

Pros

Telegram is a veritable and handy tool for daily communication in customer support, making video calls to up to 1,000 people simultanously, and for answering questions . My team and I make effective daily use of it. Telegram is extremely user friendly with its end-to-end encryption enabled by default. The sharing limit for files is relatively high. The cross device syncro functionality is seamless. Awesome dedicated features for group management via bots, among others.

Cons

Unfortunately, the advent of telegram has also led to sweeping rise in scam related crimes where scammers can easily join a group through invite links, etc, to defraud unsuspecting people especially in a group.

Perfect substitute for WhatsApp

Reviewed 3 years ago

We are a distributed organization with employees from different time zones and by switching to Telegram we have our communications organized by topic, use hashtags for easy reference, pin messages to highlight useful information, create polls that help decision making, integrate with other services for holiday notifications, automate important notifications, etc.

Pros

It's free and that makes it perfect in the value-cost ratio, since you would need a paid plan in other services to get similar features. The transition from WhatsApp was really easy... you can even export chats so you preserve the history of your communications. You can do so much more in Telegram compared to WhatsApp and it's strictly better in terms of privacy and security of the data you're sharing. The sole fact that it isn't owned by Facebook is more than enough to switch over your whole company to Telegram.

Cons

If someone has used WhatsApp (which everyone has at this point) it will be a no brainer to switch and start using Telegram, so there aren't really cons.

This notification keeps on popping up with sound and vibration, even after disabling it in the settings. It is a displeasure.

One of the best apps for instant messaging is Telegram

Reviewed a year ago

this application is so great that it can be used by a larger group of people and can share large files via messaging. I use this application every day because I adore it. This application makes it very simple to deploy chatbots. Integration with third-party apps is also easy

Pros

I enjoy being able to talk and interact with others.Additionally, I appreciate how flexible the group feature is and how, in contrast to other programs of a similar nature, it supports groups of up to 5000 people.Another feature of Telegram that I like is the ability to pin important chats so that you can access them whenever you want and the ability to store a long stream of previous conversations in a group and make them accessible to new members.Finally, I like how you could use bots to help coordinate and maintain order in your group by preventing pointless chats and unimportant participants. Furthermore, I appreciate how strict the security measures are; when a user reports fraudulent activity, the account is blocked and is not allowed to access the platform.

Cons

What Telegram is lacking is an option for real-time translation that is built right into the app. As someone with numerous Russian contacts but no Russian, I constantly translate my English text using a different translation app before pasting it into the chat. Then, when my contact responds, I translate once more using a different translation app. This is a crucial feature that is lacking and unquestionably belongs in the app.Replaced With: Google MeetMotives for Changing to Telegram Since they use Yandex email, Russians use Telegram instead of Hangouts. In order to communicate with my Russian contacts, I use Telegram rather than Google Hangouts.
