Telegram is a popular messaging app that provides users with secure communication, fast synchronization across multiple devices, and a feature-rich platform for creating groups and sharing media. Originally launched in 2013, Telegram now has more than 200 million active monthly users. It also ranks high among messaging apps on both the Google Play store (4.7 stars) and Apple App Store (4.8 stars). 

Functionality & Interface Usability & Navigation

Telegram offers an impressive range of features to its users, which make the user experience both efficient and intuitive. The interface is neat and easy to navigate – with tabs on the top for conversations, contacts, chats, settings, etc., as well as options to create new messages or group chats from within any conversation window. Users can also customize their notifications settings, so they only receive important updates when needed.  Additionally, Telegram’s “Instant View” feature allows users to quickly view articles without leaving the app itself - saving time while keeping up with relevant news stories at their own convenience.  

Personalization & Security

On top of its functionality features, Telegram also allows its users to personalize their chat screen by adding custom profile pictures or backgrounds. With this customization comes security as well – all conversations are end-to-end encrypted, providing extra protection against hackers or other malicious actors trying to access personal data stored within the app itself. Furthermore, Telegram takes measures such as two-factor authentication, which adds a layer of safety between user accounts and potential intruders looking for access to private conversations

  • Easy setup process
  • High-level encryption
  • Cross-device synchronization
  • It can be used anonymously
  • Customizable profiles.
Cons:

  • Limited GIF search engine
