Customer reviews about our service
Look I’m a big fan of this app I used like a few years ago and now it’s at a whole different state and it’s so much better then WhatsApp and now with their new update about privacy most the people I know don’t know about technology stuff and change logs but I do so I’ve gotten a handful of people to switch and a few friends and family and they’ve all said they love this app and it’s true it’s awesome but they won’t delete WhatsApp because it’s missing, stories or a status a way to let others know about you including myself I now have 2 messaging devices I use telegram as my main and WhatsApp I use it for school and status if you could add this it would mean a lot to me I’ve heard you just hit 500 mil🥳 and I feel good to have been a part of that I know it may take a while for you too implement this feature but it would be the death of WhatsApp for all the people I’ve invited
I am on a mission to get as many people away from the tentacles of Zuckerboss as possible. Have managed to get a few dozens of people to switch from whatsflop to this better platform. The only complain I get is that this does not have status, which apparently social media junkies can’t live without 🤦🏻♂️ Another complain is that the app freezes or acts slow in low connection spots some thing those users of whatsflop supposedly didn’t deal with it. Hopefully these things will be addressed and improved/fixed. I know this is still evolving and growing so I am hopeful it would become the dominant messaging platform and I will contribute to that by getting people to jump ship. I only hope we don’t get sold out like all these other money hungry corps out there. Keep up the good work guys, I wish you great success in the years to come 👍🏼👍🏼
I love it. I may sound like someone who’s working in Telegram but I don’t. I am just a user for several years since its first release and know the app quite well. The best app in its category. Have lots of great features that other apps can only dream about. In every aspect it is great, privacy, features and... Telegram is kind of like a world, you can create public and private groups and channels to share content. Sometimes I spend hours in different channels, there are lots of great news, recreational and… channels. The share feature is also a breeze. unlike whatsapp you don't need to download a file and then upload it for sharing (yeah! this is why whatsapp is so slow on sharing), Telegram just share the content with the name of its original uploader, and you can easily click and checkout the channel (if it was shared from a channel) or contact the user. The other unique feature is, it is a free cloud space for users. you can upload your photos, videos and other documents to your personal “saved messages” and they never get deleted (unlike whatsapp). Telegram has lots of other features which I can’t just type it here, you need to check it out, but I genuinely believe it is the best app in its category.
When I scroll the files/links shared with someone, and this person sends me a message, I do not receive the notification, and the message is considered as read like being within the chat. (which I actually am, but in another tab) I checked that on Windows, Linux and different Apple devices. It is not the issue on tablets, as the display is separated, neither on desktops, if user widens the window so that the chat and files/links are present concurrently. However on cellphone devices only chat or files/links tab can be displayed at a time. I guess it will be better to notify the user whenever they do not actually see the message with a topside pop-up and show the label “unread messages” within the chat when user is back from files/links tab.
Pretty much everything WhatsApp has and more. Not to mention, actually good security—unlike WhatsApp. End to end encryption where the keys are kept on your device. If you do some research, Telegram’s security has been publicly audited by real world events. I work in cyber sec and use Telegram as my default messenger for everything. Whether it’s sending large files (seriously, I’ve sent files over a gigabyte) to joining a variety of channels/groups. I honestly believe Telegram could be the next IRC chat (I get all my security and tech news and updates from telegram channels faster than news sites or rss). I’ve been slowly converting my friends and family to it. Simply the best and the features just keep coming. Thank you Telegram developers! You’ve truly revolutionized decentralized messaging.
This might be the best messaging app out there. You wont be disappointed its so easy and there is not a single feature that you could think is not in this app. There is only one complain in ios app while audio or video calling then you get microphone off on feature in right side downwards where it can get accidentally pressed so it gets troublesome while in group calls when you want to switch mic off it gets accidentally pressed many times. If that mic option could be shifted up then it would be magic. There is no other fault whatsoever. This might be the most underrated messaging app out there because this is not from mainstream companies. This app is good for privacy too since its servers are not controlled by NSA.
