About Telegram

At first, the main points, for which you can choose Telegram:

The service is completely built on cloud storage, which prevents filling up all the device storage, as well as full multiplatformity. In fact, there are even bots that you can simply use as a cloud. This is the fastest and most secure messenger, with a lot of exclusive features and wide customization.

Telegram has 5 kinds of chats - these are regular chats, group chats, secret chat rooms, channels and bots.

I am sure you know what are normal and group chats. Here you can send text, voice and video messages, photos, videos, music (with built-in music and video player), share any files (any size and format), contacts, links with preview, location (all attachments can be viewed).

Here you can send GIF images, there is also built-in search on the base GIFY (normal video without audio is also converted into GIF format):

And stickers. There are thousands of cool stickers, with absolutely free:

Here you can even create your own stickers and upload them to the public, if there is such a desire (you can also create bots yourself, this is also a distinctive feature, since the community itself is the engine of the service in parallel to the company). I can teach you how to create your own stickers.

There is a built-in editor for the photo before sending them, and more on them you can draw, write, glue stickers and funny masks:

Secret chat rooms can not be hacked to date and Telegram is officially the most secure messenger, which is used by terrorists as well, hah. The secret chat mode also has a timer that can be set for a second-minute-a-day, and after watching a message it will be automatically deleted after a specified time. If someone makes a screenshot of the correspondence, then the system notifies you about it.

You can add a shortcut to the chat on the desktop. With a long press in the dialogs, you can lock the chat with the other person. Sent messages can be edited after this or even deleted after sending (if sent something is not something, for example), respond to them and forward.

Channels are similar to groups, news feeds on a wide variety of subjects: humor, news, beautiful wallpaper, learning English and much more.

Memes

Novels

Wallpapers

Stickers

And in my opinion, really cool and convenient application Telegram are made by bots. This, so to speak, individual programs that do not need to download and clog the phone's memory again. They can simply function as hotel chat rooms, or inside chat rooms (inline bots). This can be a bot tracking service parcels new mail, money transfers in two clicks, photo editor Prisma, translator, etc., up to the games. You can even create your own bots if you can program. Also recently there was an integration with IFTTT that allows to automate the service in some issues.

And much more.

Inline bots can be used directly from chat with a person you communicating, you must enter the "@ bots_name the_request" and simply select one option for sending (this can be an inline search for pictures, videos in YouTube, games, translator, search for hyphas, etc.). lots of. For example:

You can try next requests:

@saytextbot hi honey

@pic dog

@video Adele - Hello

@gif funny dog

The service is constantly evolving, new features are added, such as calls, video messages, built-in bank payments with support for Apple Pay, Android Pay, the adaptation of many sites under Instant View, actually this tool for writing Telegraph articles and much more, which I did not have time to mention in this article.

Thanks for your attention.
