Website Introduction
Founded in 2013, Telegram emphasizes speed and security with Secret Chats (E2E encryption). Features include Channels (broadcast messaging), Bots (automation), and 200K-member Groups. The platform supports file sharing (up to 2GB) and self-destructing messages. Telegram is popular for news dissemination, crypto communities, and activism. Unlike WhatsApp, it stores chats in the cloud for multi-device access. Recent updates include Stories, Premium subscriptions (4GB uploads), and AI-powered emoji suggestions. Despite criticism for hosting unmoderated content, Telegram remains a top choice for secure communication and niche communities.
