What do I use Telegram for?

Telegram is a free messaging application where users can communicate with individuals or groups, share photos, videos, and audio media, broadcast messages to large groups of people, have free voice and video calling, and more. Beyond these basic functions that can be found in other messengers like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Hike, and more, Telegram also distributes content via Channels.

People can make their own Channels to distribute content. Users can follow the Channels of their preference, and creators can easily reach out to an unlimited number of followers through broadcast messages. When a new post is uploaded, subscribers get notified via message. In this sense, Telegram also competes with programs like YouTube (for video content) and Instagram (for video and photo content).

Telegram can be used both on mobiles and computers, and sync across devices. You'll have access to media, chats, Channels, and more on as many devices as you want. Telegram is compatible with MacOS, Windows, iOS, Android, and Linux. It can also be used over the web if you don't want to download it on your devices.

What are the top reasons to use Telegram?

The Translating Entire Chats feature has been one of the most popular additions to this messaging app. With real-time translation, you can now translate entire conversations, chats, groups, and channels into any of your preferred languages. However, all users can translate individual messages by selecting them and tapping the word Translate, but only premium users have access to The Entire Chats feature.
