About Telegram
FAST: Telegram is the fastest messaging app on the market, connecting people via a unique, distributed network of data centers around the globe.
SYNCED: You can access your messages from all your phones, tablets and computers at once. Telegram apps are standalone, so you don’t need to keep your phone connected. Start typing on one device and finish the message from another. Never lose your data again.
UNLIMITED: You can send media and files, without any limits on their type and size. Your entire chat history will require no disk space on your device, and will be securely stored in the Telegram cloud for as long as you need it.
SECURE: We made it our mission to provide the best security combined with ease of use. Everything on Telegram, including chats, groups, media, etc. is encrypted using a combination of 256-bit symmetric AES encryption, 2048-bit RSA encryption, and Diffie–Hellman secure key exchange.
100% FREE & OPEN: Telegram has a fully documented and free API for developers, open source apps and verifiable builds to prove the app you download is built from the exact same source code that is published.
POWERFUL: You can create group chats with up to 200,000 members, share large videos, documents of any type (.DOCX, .MP3, .ZIP, etc.) up to 2 GB each, and even set up bots for specific tasks. Telegram is the perfect tool for hosting online communities and coordinating teamwork.
RELIABLE: Built to deliver your messages using as little data as possible, Telegram is the most reliable messaging system ever made. It works even on the weakest mobile connections.
FUN: Telegram has powerful photo and video editing tools, animated stickers and emoji, fully customizable themes to change the appearance of your app, and an open sticker/GIF platform to cater to all your expressive needs.
SIMPLE: While providing an unprecedented array of features, we take great care to keep the interface clean. Telegram is so simple you already know how to use it.
PRIVATE: We take your privacy seriously and will never give any third parties access to your data. You can delete any message you ever sent or received for both sides, at any time and without a trace. Telegram will never use your data to show you ads.
For those interested in maximum privacy, Telegram offers Secret Chats. Secret Chat messages can be programmed to self-destruct automatically from both participating devices. This way you can send all types of disappearing content — messages, photos, videos, and even files. Secret Chats use End-to-End Encryption to ensure that a message can only be read by its intended recipient.
We keep expanding the boundaries of what you can do with a messaging app. Don’t wait years for older messengers to catch up with Telegram — join the revolution today.

A platonic relationship is all about communication, and a cloud-based chat with plenty of storage is much needed when you're sending over 100 messages a day along with funny memes and videos. Plus, you'll keep everything in one place so you can easily look back through your conversations and memories. more2 years ago

Just because your best friend is 1000 miles away doesn't mean you can't stay in touch on a regular basis. A trusted, private chat app is a great way to share your thoughts, dreams and deepest secrets - knowing that no one will be able to intrude upon your privacy. more2 years ago

Telegram is the worst app

Secure, Easy to Use
Jul 24, 2021 By mov ax,1/int 21hOVERALL If you’re tired of companies like facebook reading your messages, yes they really do, it’s time to up your game. Telegram and Signal are both great apps, Telegram being a bit easier, and polished. Telegram chats use two modes. In standard mode messages are encrypted and stored on their servers. In “padlock” mode messages are encrypted and stored on your device. Both are secure, however in “padlock” mode if you, for instance, buy a tablet and install Telegram it won’t show your messages from other devices. Remember, enable touch ID on your phone/iPad/macOS device and Telegram, otherwise anyone could physically access the device and read your conversations. SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENT FOR DEVS It could use one improvement, when you share via iOS it needs to have both the standard AND a “padlock” icon for secure chat. Otherwise you’ll end up with two different chats with each friend. Until then you need to select share, Telegram, and manually pick the right chat. Also, make the “read” checkmark color customizable or bold. Or better use an “o” for unread and a check for read. more -
Aug 3, 2022 By Streetk53The absolute best & most compact & customizable messaging app I've ever used and I've used almost all of them. The devs sat down & thought of every single thing that a person could want out of a messaging app. From the many excellent privacy settings, to being able to fully delete a message for everyone, & edit any message & replace it with something else. The customizable chat, & the simple way of sending videos & photos (uncompressed too) with no loss in quality. An all-in-one perfect app. more -
In desperate need of Group Video Chat
Feb 18, 2021 By Mr.. FisherHey, I’ve been using Telegram for over 10+ years and I haven’t had any problems with this application whatsoever everything works great but, there is one issue that I have with this application and that is the inability to create a group video chat that is why I can only give telegram 3 stars. I honestly believe that is a crucial disadvantage to this application I say that because, I have family and friends that live all over the world whether it be in different states or different countries and we all have telegram on our phones. That being said we would like to I’ll be able to talk in a video group chat with each other which we are unable to because this application doesn’t provide that option. So therefore since telegram doesn’t provide a video group chat option we have to download another application to be able to do that Task. Which in my opinion is extremely ridiculous because you should be able to perform the test on this app as well. Instead of making people waste valuable space on their phones by download in other apps to perform the test where y’all can provide that ability on your app so we don’t have to download other apps to perform that and we could save space on our Devices. more -
Aug 4, 2022 By Cory DailyBeen using this app for years now, and it's easily my favorite messaging app, period. Consistent updates and improvements, amazing animations, and it runs so smoothly. Features I would like to see come to telegram: (1) the ability to set your "status" rather than just blocking people from seeing if you're online. (2) some kind of "story" feature. I actually really enjoy it on other apps and I think this app could benefit from it. more -
Need Video calling feature, faster passcode lock & a bug fix
Sep 20, 2019 By Zakir HosenI am enjoying telegram as my main chatting app as it’s secure faster & fun to use! But unfortunately it has only voice calling feature which makes me to use another apps for that feature only! I cordially expect that developer will add that asap! It’s passcode locking feature in order to provide best security to its user, but apps lock doesn’t work immediately! Which should be must! The minimum time is 1 minutes! It should be locked within a fraction of second as some other apps do! As long as we have face unlocking feature so it will not bother us! Lastly, I have facing an unexpected issue sometimes! I’m not sure where I tap but when it happens telegram stop functioning & start glitching non stop glitching! It needs the apps to launch again! So please make the apps more lovely by adding video calling features and make the passcode lock more quicker & fix the bug! Thanks for reading with patience! more -
Jul 15, 2022 By Leonardo Collazo KleninaIt's a great app that has many useful tools and, in my opinion, one year ago was the best instant messaging application. Right now it has a few problems like: audios take about 4-5 minutes to send, even if it is an audio of only 10 seconds; a 100kb image also takes a long time about 4-5 minutes to send and even if it's just 100kb. I have good internet speed, that's not the problem. Images that are sended with self-autodestructi don't load correctly, they stay blurred. more

Deleted messages
May 30, 2020 By Mr BcubedThe genuine telegram app deletes text messages from both sides but the third party apps keeps those messages and that is not good because it invades the peoples privacy status and sometimes they have the whole conversation sent to others even if it was confidential, for example if you saved a wrong number and then wrote a text or sent a photo then realized that its the wrong account and deleted it but yet if that person is using the “ third party apps” then he will still have those texts, photos, and user information and for me that is a major flaw in your agreement to them. I wish you can fix that problem or get rid of those apps and save other peoples sanity. Overall I love the Genuine app its so slick easy and so much comfortable to use I have been using it for the past 3 & 1/2 years and it never let me down. Keep up the good work and please check your agreements with the third party apps. Thanks in advance more -
Jul 15, 2022 By Juan Carlos ValdezThis is a great app. I'm making this my main social media for everything. I'm a content creator and I really like the format. But I think the following changes would make it better. 1. Two tabs that separate the news feed and the personal chats. 2. In the settings section, have a button to quickly access the channels a user has created for easier management and uploads. more -
Jul 27, 2022 By Jade MarieAnonymous and secure app. It definitely does what it's intended purposes are for. Unfortunately, i am not a fan of the inability to sign in using a computer and sending a code to the app. I tried on a few occasions to see if a code will be sent to my phone instead of through the app but nope. I am now locked out of my account. Besides that inconvenience, it is a very good app to send pics, talk, and text with discretion. more -
Please I’m a big fan
Jan 13, 2021 By j0semat0sLook 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 more

Telegram is the worst app
Jan 7, 2022 By L3on StarSad. I didnt eaven want to give that one star. I wanted to put bad rewiew about that shitty telegram -
Jul 16, 2022 By Ham BoneWhat a waste of time. I downloaded Telegram on my Android S8 only to have it sync a handful of contacts. Dozens of my key contacts are not shown, although the "sync contacts" toggle is set to "on" in settings. The only way I found to add my existing contacts is by doing so manually, one at a time. That's a hard no for me. I will unistall Telegram & find actual messaging software that functions. more -
Please don’t alert me on who has joined Telegram
Jan 2, 2020 By Specialist 101I have had Telegram for a few years. I installed it because some contact mentioned that they use is for communication just like many other of global contacts who use various different Apps for communication and I download them to make it easy for my contact to reach me. I have about 11 such apps and Telegram is the only App that will intermittently big me with notifications that someone in my contact list has joined Telegram and other silly alerts that have noting to go with me receiving a message from a contact. I just received 11 notifications back to back that 11 of my contacts joined Telegram. First of all it’s not a coincidence that 11 different people who have nothing in common other than being in my contact list join Telegram at the very same second. So obviously, this is a cheap way of Telegram trying to engage with me. I seriously don’t give a crap who is in or not. If they are and they need to reach me then and only then I’d like to be alerted. Kindly fix your unnecessary alerts or give me the option of what alerts I’d like to get and I’ll change my ratings for you. more -
Jul 1, 2022 By j bThis app WAS amazing and I'd give it 5-stars...BUT, I can't type anything into a message bc I keep getting an error message pop up box that reads, "Telegram isn't optimized for the latest version of Android. Screen touches may be delayed or not recognized." please, Developer, please update the Telegram app so I can send messages again. Thank you! more -
8.8.2 still trashes constantly
Jul 9, 2022 By Mattstar69The app still struggles to connect stay connected and crashes when messages are forwarded. Profile pictures are mostly Miss and emoji don't load they’re just little question marks. I guess a stable build is reserved for premium users. The app one worked seamlessly with an occasional hiccup but ever since the introduction of the “download manager” features and those features that have been introduced to help content creators to monetize their channels but in reality just gave people who have little power in the real world to become gatekeepers to content they didn’t even create or pay for. It’s funny to hear the creator of Telegram on his high horse when the app that originally touted as always being free to now barely working & creating more ways for trolls to exploit people unless you wish to pay for premium. I can deal with the gate keepers and shameless grabs for money if the app works well but it doesn’t and it’s not like I have an old obsolete phone I have an iPhone 12 ProMax for god sakes yet the app works like it’s on a jail broken iPhone 3G more -
Aug 3, 2022 By Raptor O'DonnellAs a general rule, I swear by Telegram as a messenger. I've used and invited others to use it for several years. But this phone App has been having issues with bluetooth and virutal keyboards for over six months. I can't recommend the app to anyone who doesn't phone type. Telegram X is just more keyboard friendly at this point. Which is frustraing. Because it doesn't have ctrl+enter send like Telegram proper. Please Fix that. This SHOULD be a 5 star rating. more -
Jun 21, 2022 By Memer GamerThe app is good. But has some problem. The most annoying one is the voice call. No matter how good both of our connections are after 2-3 minutes it will show "Reconnecting" and I would hear some beeps. But it never reconnects. So I have to end the call and make it again and again after 2-3 mins. And another problem is "last seen recently". It's so annoying. Why can't you just show the exact time like other apps? Like " last scene X minutes/hours ago". I hope you will fix these bugs in future. more -
May 27, 2022 By Color CommentaryI used to have 0 problems with this app. It replaced most of my other communication apps because it's audio messages were so good. Now I lose half of them. I think it's a bug connected to the pop up keyboard. Pressing send while the pop up keyboard is visible just move the app around in a weird way that makes stop the button I press instead of send. Over a year without this problem but the last 4 months or so I've had so many messages disappear, which defeats the purpose of a communication app. more -
New bugs in version 5
Dec 20, 2018 By fordguy1997Telegram was almost bug free, but version 5 introduced a host of new bugs that were previously fixed. 1) "Last seen" time is no longer accurate. It takes a few minutes to update. Often it tells me that I was last seen 30 minutes ago, when I'm online! 2) the search feature is broken: it has the glitch that only shows 100 results maximum. Previously it used to tell me how many messages each person sent to the chat, which was in the tens of thousands. Now each person has allegedly only sent 100 messages. 3) The same old message notification keeps being pushed to my Notification Center after I've cleared it from there multiple times. This happens for days at a time for the same notification. EDIT 12/19: Developer mentioned the update, well issue 1 was not fixed with the recent update that was pushed out. However, I can report that issue 2 has been fixed. Still noticing issue 3, and will email about it. Thanks more -
Latest version introduces a really annoying bug
Feb 13, 2020 By ZoomZoomNHThe Feb. 3 update still includes the really annoying bug. To test the new update, I typed "This is a test of Telegram's new updated app." Here is what Telegram got: "Thisi atTelegram's nbew pda app." Clearly, this is still completely unusable. If anything, the number of dropped characters is worse than it was originally. Original review: Updating to the latest version introduced a really bad bug that causes keyboard input to get corrupted. When I type on my Bluetooth keyboard now, Telegram acts like I also typed random backspaces every few characters, completely messing up the words I type, and inducing auto-correct to change many of the messed-up words to something completely different. Please fix this right away! I've installed every update since the bug was introduced, and none of them have addressed the problem! I just updated again today (Jan. 9), and the problem is as bad as ever. I have to type very slowly and constantly correct Telegram's mistakes, making it nearly unusable. more

So far so good 😎
Jan 21, 2021 By Vip The GreatI 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 👍🏼👍🏼 more -
Jul 5, 2022 By Mickel LewisTelegram is the best messaging app, period. I was hooked in by the ability to send files of any type as well as the encryption on every conversation, and have only grown to be a bigger proponent ever since. I'm glad to be the reason 10+ people I know began to use Telegram. From the channels to the stickers to the voice chats, games, and video calls, there's really not a lot to dislike about Telegram — except for the specific bots that don't help anyone, but they're on all the apps, anyway. more -
Suggestion for improvement
Aug 11, 2020 By r4r2r4When 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. more -
Jun 18, 2022 By Seth TippingAbsolutely perfect messaging experience. I have been using Telegram for many years with friends and family, and I highly recommend to any users looking for 100% free simple, functional, respecting, and secure messaging on every platform (including community supported ones!) or wanting to switch from other similar apps. However, a valid phone number is required for sign up which is a downside for those who might not be as fortunate or trusting, but does help against bad actors/spam. more

Jul 15, 2022 By Leonardo Collazo KleninaIt's a great app that has many useful tools and, in my opinion, one year ago was the best instant messaging application. Right now it has a few problems like: audios take about 4-5 minutes to send, even if it is an audio of only 10 seconds; a 100kb image also takes a long time about 4-5 minutes to send and even if it's just 100kb. I have good internet speed, that's not the problem. Images that are sended with self-autodestructi don't load correctly, they stay blurred. more -
Almost perfect
Jul 24, 2021 By Eng, JMy S.O. and I have been looking for the perfect secure video chatting platform for a while. We were pleasantly surprised that Telegram finally started implementing video chatting. It is very buggy at the moment, but Telegram is definitely on the right track and has everything that we are looking for. We use the group video call feature to share screens and audio, and it’s very easy to seamlessly switch devices without having to disrupt the call. The iOS app seems more buggy than desktop as it overheats and freezes up my phone during long calls. Other bugs include recursive screen-in-screens during screen sharing, hearing your own voice when sharing audio, and suddenly not hearing the other person. It also would be great to have these features in the individual voice chats as well. Overall, we’re very excited for these features and the quick updates. more -
Jun 28, 2022 By Mike NoJust brilliant. Does everything I need it to do and more. Recent update with premium seems to have issues, with premium I can almost never downloaded images or voice messages. The app just sits on "updating..." Then "connecting..." And just flips back and forth for ten seconds before stopping the download. Hope it's fixed soon, as I love telegram but these supposed faster downloads on premium seems bunk right now. more -
Scammer’s Paradise
Apr 3, 2021 By ButterflyCrescent92Positives: Telegram had some positive features. You can start a secret chat with someone. There’s freedom of speech in that app and you can say politically incorrect things without getting banned. You can post content which are deemed offensive. That’s why I like Telegram. I do miss the app, though. Unfortunately, I can’t go back, not after what happened to me. Negatives: I was catfished by a scammer. The problem with Telegram is that it doesn’t have a report feature. I reported the scammer via using Yahoo mail, Gmail, and even messaged notoscam. Sadly, Telegram wouldn’t do anything about it. I had to delete my account, and deleted the app itself because of how persistent and dangerous the scammer is. The scammer is using a photo of an actual doctor and is pretending to be him. I suspect it’s an African scammer, but I’ll never know. The only thing I had done was to block the scammer on Telegram, but that wasn’t enough. more -
Aug 3, 2022 By SlotMachineGun777Telegram worked wonderfully for the longest time. I could send dozens of pictures/videos at a time to friends, and they could do the same, and theyd all load super quickly and in seconds. Then they added their "premium" service, and everything ground to a halt. Images take several minutes to load, videos even longer. Could be a genuine issue within the app, but my internet is just fine, and i have a good feeling they bottlenecked loading speeds just to sell their premium service. Pretty Scummy. more -
4th Update App Review
Jan 11, 2022 By Jotsan MartinezThe customizable colors, dark theme, sleek, fluid messaging app, private, and secure. Destructible messages are a plus. I like the spoiler option it’s pretty cool, along with many other features. Previously Telegram was lacking video calls, Group Video Calls, FaceID. I’ve noticed they added it on which is great! End to End encryption should be standard. Why go through the hassle of doing secret chats? The option should be the other way around “unsecret chats” Please add Pin Numbers. Some people dont like to share phone numbers. Having the option for Pin number to add users on Telegram is a Marvelous idea. More business features are needed like having the capability to pay and receive payments within the app. Having an online store. Add a “transparent theme” for themes and colors that be awesome! One thing needs FIXING. The app has been updated. Now it’s complicated and confusing to change the color themes. When applying the colors and theme it does not update it. Someone sent me a voice note. It took 12 hours to receive it. The voice note stayed at a downloading state the whole time. I have 5G service. Please update with new features suggested and fixes. Then we can agree it deserves a 5 Star rating. Im sticking to 4 stars until then. more -
Jun 29, 2022 By LittleRedhead75I have been using Telegram as my main texting platform for messaging my partner for at least 5 years, if not more. We have always loved it. I knocked my review down one star because lately ever since premium was introduced, I get the "connecting" message for a while every time I open the app. I used to just receive my messages and see the other person's timestamp immediately upon opening the app, but now both of us have noticed that it is taking an unusual amount of time to load each time. more -
Awesome except for two points
Aug 13, 2020 By Raana_bTelegram has been a great application which i have been using for more than 6 years non-stop! But lately i have switched to ios and i am short on storage. Whenever i clean the cache, the number in the app goes down but in my settings the numbers will not change that much. So every time i am supposed to delete the app and re-download it so i will lose all my secret chats. Also being able to delete messages of the other person for both sides?! This is not new but it is so bad. I mean imagine you are talking to an online shop, you send the receipt but they will delete it later and deny that you have paid! I hope you make changes and solve these problems. I think these are the only downsides that i can mention for this wonderful app. Thank you. more

In desperate need of Group Video Chat
Feb 18, 2021 By Mr.. FisherHey, I’ve been using Telegram for over 10+ years and I haven’t had any problems with this application whatsoever everything works great but, there is one issue that I have with this application and that is the inability to create a group video chat that is why I can only give telegram 3 stars. I honestly believe that is a crucial disadvantage to this application I say that because, I have family and friends that live all over the world whether it be in different states or different countries and we all have telegram on our phones. That being said we would like to I’ll be able to talk in a video group chat with each other which we are unable to because this application doesn’t provide that option. So therefore since telegram doesn’t provide a video group chat option we have to download another application to be able to do that Task. Which in my opinion is extremely ridiculous because you should be able to perform the test on this app as well. Instead of making people waste valuable space on their phones by download in other apps to perform the test where y’all can provide that ability on your app so we don’t have to download other apps to perform that and we could save space on our Devices. more -
Jul 28, 2022 By Kelly HolmesThis app automatically sets to store data forever. Took 88 Gigs of data on my phone, but I didn't know until I went through every app on my phone. 2 weeks of frustration and my phone not working. I like the app, but change this setting immediately to only store for 3 days. Phone is fine now. This setting needs to be changed in the next update. more -
Video calling
Nov 19, 2019 By hatxusIn this day and age video calling is a must with every app such as Telegram, and lack of it unnecessarily opens the door for the competition. Despite my desire to solely use Telegram to connect with friends & family all over the world, I’m having to use other apps, because of the lack of this feature in this app, and I’m sure this is the case for most of its other users. I’d give this app 4 stars if it had the video calling feature, and 5 if it wasn’t for some other malfunctions I come across every now and then, such as, all of a sudden losing all my communications with a contact from the beginning till a random date, or altogether till the present! This has happened to me several times with different contacts, so I highly recommend backing your communications up if they’re important to you. I really hope, and strongly suggest that the developers add the video calling feature ASAP. Thank you for all your efforts for providing the public with a great communication tool! 🙏🌹 more -
Jul 31, 2022 By Michelle ishappySo glad a friend recommended Telegram!!! Awesome stickers--way better than has-been Messenger. This is messenging done RIGHT. HOWEVER...when I click on a notification, it does NOT take me to the story, but to several posts above, and I have to click the arrow to get to the bottom, where the story IS. Sadly, there is no way to comment on posts... Developer, thank you for your reply. The 2 channels I watch must not allow comments, but one allows comments on other platforms. Now I understand. more -
Good app for communication, but no good for investments
Feb 22, 2021 By Albinoni528***Disclaimer*** This is only describing the various situations where forex group chats exist on the service. Nothing against the actual service itself, only the Forex groups on the app ***Disclaimer*** So the app is wonderful in terms of communication, and a good competitor to Whatsapp (another wonderful messaging service). My only beef is the fact that I was the idiot (last October) to download the app due to being suckered by a rando online about a bitcoin forex. I was unaware of such financial lingo, assuming that I would get my return profit in 48 hours. Biggest mistake If people recommend you to various places that offer a return profit via forex, DO NOT EXPECT MONEY BACK IMMEDIATELY. You’ll only lose your money due to the highly volatile nature of not only Bitcoin, but also Forex itself is essentially a bigger gamble due to various international markets operating around the clock. Whether it be through Facebook or any other social media accounts, you cannot be suckered by such things. It’s a pandemic and the last thing one should want is to lose money. It’s precious and you should not let your emotions control the wallet. Ones intellect and wise choices dictates money. So if you’re looking to save money, do the research, be financially literate, and save the money. Nothing against this app once again, but the groups who promise for get rich quick schemes. more -
Telegram Review
Jun 1, 2019 By Faris NabeelI enjoy using the app much more than any other social media messaging platform. The ability to create group chats, call people, and customizable features in addition to a UI that is seamless with other devices, and doesn't stutter is a treat. But, in some areas telegram falls short due to lack of video messaging, the traffic seems to be lower than other platforms, and searching for groups isn't as easy as some may like it to be. Regardless, a video chat feature similar to instagrams live mode would be perfect for the group chats. If possible maybe even allowing features thats on discord to be on the app, better bots would be a plus that telegram makes themselves rather than relying on other people bots. Most bots seem to not work as well as the competition. Overall its a great 1 v 1 app, but apps such as WhatsApp or instagrams video-calling is superior, and discords bots and chat customization is superior. Telegram is the perfect middle ground that could do better. more -
HEADACHE
Oct 16, 2020 By hey its fiammettaI logged out from one of my accounts and since then This app doesn’t work. All it shows is a white page. I tried restarting my phone but it didn’t help and no I don’t wanna redownload it because that will erase all of my data. The most annoying thing about an app would be this kind of losing data and you know what? This is not the first time. Sometimes with the new updates I had this problem again. In my country I can say that we pay A LOT for using internet and I’m just sick and tired of wasting it on redownloading things that I didn’t even wanted to be erased in the first place. [ and also more importantly it’s just so frustrating and time consuming ] Since it’s impossible to avoid all this kind of mistakes, in the future updates please add “mass downloading” which can offer us redownloading all the latest data we downloaded on our other devices or lost all together. more -
Not fully accessible using voice Over
Mar 10, 2020 By short she wolfI am visually impaired, and I use Voice Over to navigate through the various features on my IPhone 8. I am using the most current version of IOS 13. I can only use Voice Over when listening to a single contact (I can activate the play button). But when I try to activate the play button when chatting within a group, Voice Over does not work. Instead, I have to turn Voice Over off and activate play like a user who is sighted. I fortunately have enough vision to do this, but a blind or visually impaired person with less or no vision would not be able to perform the work around I have found. I have tried to report this several times, and I have received no feedback at all. I find that to be very discouraging. I know that some blind useds are experiencing the same problem while others are not, so it is not an across the board problem. However, the issue still needs to be invchstigated. more -
Jul 24, 2022 By Yunieski FonsecaThe app on all clients will refuse to load the full list of channel and group subscribers/members past a certain point and will refuse to show members/subs when searching for them manually despite them being in the group/channel. The app also still crashes for regular users when attempting to access any files that are over 2GB in size. Fix your issues instead of throwing out more new features that keep breaking the app more. It's slowly starting to become unusable. more -
Mask, stickers, and chatrooms don’t work
Sep 30, 2019 By Pinkrose1422I love the idea of this app and I love that it has polls, rules set, bots, and other things but my app crashes 100% of the time when ever I go into settings to check out the “Masks”. It just kicks me out the app than when I look for stickers there’s only a few compared to what others claim they have (I’m only seeing a little when others have and see a lot more options than me) and I’m unable to find Chatrooms. The only option I have is to open messages to chat with someone but I want to go to a chatroom. Not chat with someone. Someone said I’m fully missing the icon (a magnify glass) and only have the box with a pencil which is for starting a new message with someone. Can this be fixed soon? I just download the app three days ago. So there isn’t any updates I’m neglecting to update when it says the last update was two week ago. Someone mind helping? more

Aug 3, 2022 By Raptor O'DonnellAs a general rule, I swear by Telegram as a messenger. I've used and invited others to use it for several years. But this phone App has been having issues with bluetooth and virutal keyboards for over six months. I can't recommend the app to anyone who doesn't phone type. Telegram X is just more keyboard friendly at this point. Which is frustraing. Because it doesn't have ctrl+enter send like Telegram proper. Please Fix that. This SHOULD be a 5 star rating. more -
Jun 21, 2022 By Memer GamerThe app is good. But has some problem. The most annoying one is the voice call. No matter how good both of our connections are after 2-3 minutes it will show "Reconnecting" and I would hear some beeps. But it never reconnects. So I have to end the call and make it again and again after 2-3 mins. And another problem is "last seen recently". It's so annoying. Why can't you just show the exact time like other apps? Like " last scene X minutes/hours ago". I hope you will fix these bugs in future. more -
New bugs in version 5
Dec 20, 2018 By fordguy1997Telegram was almost bug free, but version 5 introduced a host of new bugs that were previously fixed. 1) "Last seen" time is no longer accurate. It takes a few minutes to update. Often it tells me that I was last seen 30 minutes ago, when I'm online! 2) the search feature is broken: it has the glitch that only shows 100 results maximum. Previously it used to tell me how many messages each person sent to the chat, which was in the tens of thousands. Now each person has allegedly only sent 100 messages. 3) The same old message notification keeps being pushed to my Notification Center after I've cleared it from there multiple times. This happens for days at a time for the same notification. EDIT 12/19: Developer mentioned the update, well issue 1 was not fixed with the recent update that was pushed out. However, I can report that issue 2 has been fixed. Still noticing issue 3, and will email about it. Thanks more -
“Raise to listen” is horrible, and circle videos force auto play
Feb 22, 2020 By ColinHuthTelegram does a lot of things right, but its total lack of customization of usability settings isn’t one of them. “Raise to listen“ is forced on. Any random time something comes close to your phone, it decides you’ve raised it to your head and starts a voice recording. There’s a secret debug menu (not mentioned anywhere) accessed by tapping “settings” 10 times, but even turning it off there doesn’t fix it. This breaks when more since circle videos autoplay — a conversation with them means you’ll constantly be going back to watch someone’s that you missed, and then *your* video after will play. Possibly at double their volume. And you’ll have to stop it manually, every single time. But what’s worse is that if any circle video is paused, and there’s play/pause on the top bar, then raise to listen will override and play *no matter what*. Even if you have it forced off in the secret debug menu. For every hour of circle video conversation, this means manually stopping autoplay and having to hit the little X literally hundreds of times just to make your own recordings not play loudly at you, and your phone’s sensor not delete what you were recording because a cat got too close to your phone and it decided it was your ear. All because Telegram really, *really* doesn’t like giving you options as to how you use the app. more -
Media autosave is broken since iOS 12 release and calls dropping every few min
Oct 24, 2018 By MehoCodeHey dev team, the auto save feature for all media (images specifically) isn’t working since I updated to publicly available ios 12. It worked perfectly on all betas of iOS 12 and stable versions of previous iOS but now it became very frustrating as I expected to see all images received to be in photo gallery but aren’t being saved for some reason. I tried reinstalling both Telegram and iOS, tested telegram on 3 different iPhones but nothing seem to be helpful in this case. Media auto save is enabled in settings and app has access to photos so no permission issues as far as I understand. I also sent a message to app support few weeks ago and never head back from them so this is the last step before I start looking for alternatives. Another big issue is calls quality/reliability. Every time I call someone after few min I hear beeps that indicate lost/poor network, then I can hear other party again but they can’t hear me or call just drops after 15-20 seconds. The longer the call (multiple calls) is the more often it breaks and I have to call that person again. I’m on latest iOS 12.0.1 and iPhone XS Max 256. Hoping to see these two fixed in the next update. Once this and dropping calls is fixed Telegram will be again my favorite messenger. Until then - 2 star review. more -
Decent app, but has some problems.
Apr 15, 2021 By _UnknownDude_There’s a couple privacy settings that aren’t provided that probably should be. For starters you can’t add a decoy phone number which essentially negates any purpose of having the app in the first place. Secondly, even if you don’t give Telegram access to your contacts, if someone on your contacts starts using Telegram they will automatically be added to the contacts screen in the app as well as prompt a conversation with them in the chats screen, this is especially bad if you’re, let’s say trying to use the app to contact someone who you can’t contact through discord anymore and you’re also trying to hide a certain aspect of your life from family members like an aunt who just so happens to start using that while you have your account completely exposing the part of your life you want hidden. more -
New channels issue
Oct 21, 2021 By Ma1likI have been using telegram for almost 2 years, but there is an issue when I join new channels they don’t show up in the menu of chats, or in the folders menu, I only have to search them by name which is not really practical because when I forget the name the channel will be lost to me and I can never access to it and see the content. Also there is another problem which is the limit of channels and groups that each person can join, I see that this feature is useless, you can’t control the number or choices of channels that people can join, and people cannot delete their older channels just to join new ones, I hope you delete this feature and make the number unlimited or at least increase it. I hope you will fix that problem, thank you. more -
Chat refreshes way toooo fast on ipad version
Mar 17, 2018 By Ember541I really like the telegram app. Unfortunately I use a bunch of different group chats. The app refreshes so fast that I cannot click on the message fast enough. I have to hit edit and then I can maybe scroll down to see it - often not. I think that when you click on the message icon it should automatically put those messages at the very top and hold them there until they are viewed. Until this is done I cannot give it more stars because it is very aggravating to try to see who messaged me. Sometimes I have to go on the web version on my ipad but there I cannot see the line that has the message icon. It doesn’t scroll down far enough. So then I have to go on the computer to the web version there. There everything works much better. Please make these improvements!! Thanks. more -

Telegram is the worst app
Jan 7, 2022 By L3on StarSad. I didnt eaven want to give that one star. I wanted to put bad rewiew about that shitty telegram -
Jul 16, 2022 By Ham BoneWhat a waste of time. I downloaded Telegram on my Android S8 only to have it sync a handful of contacts. Dozens of my key contacts are not shown, although the "sync contacts" toggle is set to "on" in settings. The only way I found to add my existing contacts is by doing so manually, one at a time. That's a hard no for me. I will unistall Telegram & find actual messaging software that functions. more -
Please don’t alert me on who has joined Telegram
Jan 2, 2020 By Specialist 101I have had Telegram for a few years. I installed it because some contact mentioned that they use is for communication just like many other of global contacts who use various different Apps for communication and I download them to make it easy for my contact to reach me. I have about 11 such apps and Telegram is the only App that will intermittently big me with notifications that someone in my contact list has joined Telegram and other silly alerts that have noting to go with me receiving a message from a contact. I just received 11 notifications back to back that 11 of my contacts joined Telegram. First of all it’s not a coincidence that 11 different people who have nothing in common other than being in my contact list join Telegram at the very same second. So obviously, this is a cheap way of Telegram trying to engage with me. I seriously don’t give a crap who is in or not. If they are and they need to reach me then and only then I’d like to be alerted. Kindly fix your unnecessary alerts or give me the option of what alerts I’d like to get and I’ll change my ratings for you. more -

Screen touches may be delayed or not recognized." please, Developer, please update the Telegram app so I can send messages again. Thank you! more -
8.8.2 still trashes constantly
Jul 9, 2022 By Mattstar69The app still struggles to connect stay connected and crashes when messages are forwarded. Profile pictures are mostly Miss and emoji don't load they’re just little question marks. I guess a stable build is reserved for premium users. The app one worked seamlessly with an occasional hiccup but ever since the introduction of the “download manager” features and those features that have been introduced to help content creators to monetize their channels but in reality just gave people who have little power in the real world to become gatekeepers to content they didn’t even create or pay for. It’s funny to hear the creator of Telegram on his high horse when the app that originally touted as always being free to now barely working & creating more ways for trolls to exploit people unless you wish to pay for premium. I can deal with the gate keepers and shameless grabs for money if the app works well but it doesn’t and it’s not like I have an old obsolete phone I have an iPhone 12 ProMax for god sakes yet the app works like it’s on a jail broken iPhone 3G more -
May 27, 2022 By Color CommentaryI used to have 0 problems with this app. It replaced most of my other communication apps because it's audio messages were so good. Now I lose half of them. I think it's a bug connected to the pop up keyboard. Pressing send while the pop up keyboard is visible just move the app around in a weird way that makes stop the button I press instead of send. Over a year without this problem but the last 4 months or so I've had so many messages disappear, which defeats the purpose of a communication app. more -
Latest version introduces a really annoying bug
Feb 13, 2020 By ZoomZoomNHThe Feb. 3 update still includes the really annoying bug. To test the new update, I typed "This is a test of Telegram's new updated app." Here is what Telegram got: "Thisi atTelegram's nbew pda app." Clearly, this is still completely unusable. If anything, the number of dropped characters is worse than it was originally. Original review: Updating to the latest version introduced a really bad bug that causes keyboard input to get corrupted. When I type on my Bluetooth keyboard now, Telegram acts like I also typed random backspaces every few characters, completely messing up the words I type, and inducing auto-correct to change many of the messed-up words to something completely different. Please fix this right away! I've installed every update since the bug was introduced, and none of them have addressed the problem! I just updated again today (Jan. 9), and the problem is as bad as ever. I have to type very slowly and constantly correct Telegram's mistakes, making it nearly unusable. more -
Scammed
Jan 20, 2022 By Paws on my heartI received a 2nd email regarding an interview for a job I applied to. I am a recovering stroke victim, so I haven’t been able to work in almost 6 years, but recently decided to take a leap and find a remote job, as I can’t drive at the moment. This afternoon I received an email, in regards to a job I applied to. I quickly forwarded to onto my husband and he pointed out right away that it was sent from someone with a “Gmail” address and not a company email, which was the first red flag. It goes onto say I would be interviewing with this guy and said the virtual interview would take place at this platform. Ok, I have never heard of such place. The like had his name spelled without an “s”, which I found to be another Red Flag. My husband texted me back a screenshot of a scam done on behalf of this company (using this company name) and on this platform. I tried reporting this persons account, but was unsuccessful, as apparently this platform is run by volunteers. I just want to see this persons account shut down. I tried searching this person on LinkedIn and couldn’t find any matches. I tried searching without the “s” and still no searches. I contacted the company and the lady told me they are not hiring for remote jobs, only on-site and apologized. She said no one by the names I gave her worked for the company. I immediately deleted this app and will be more careful in the near further. more -
Why alerting everybody when we are using the app?
May 28, 2021 By The MD oneHello, I just want to express how unhappy I am with the fact that we can’t choose if the app sends alerts to our contacts that we are using the app. Why can’t we just use an app without letting our whole contact list know? This is a huge drag and the reason why I deleted the app years back and why I al going to delete it soon, I clearly do not necessarily want all my contacts to be alerted that am using an app, the second I started using after 2 years I have messages coming in from random people. I am here just for some channels my friend recommended me but now I have to be texting people or be rude and ignoring messages because they received a notification and in the app they now exactly when am or was online. THUS IS BEYOND ANNOYING. I have now to consider getting a new sim card just to be able to use the app without having people invading me. more -
Remote Job offer Scam!! PoleHuggerMusic
Jun 30, 2022 By looooo loooooIf anyone stumbles upon an indeed job listing for “polehuggermusic” which is a mic stand accessory company and they ask you to have an interview on this app, it is 100% a scam. They asked for my social and license to be emailed to a gmail account by the name of Justin Howard. The whole interview was through this app only texting and at the end of answering a few questions they said “you’re hired!” Please send your personal information to this email. He said in the beginning I could ask questions at the end, so I proceeded to do so. After over an hour with no response I followed up on my questions in which he responded “what do you want?” I said if he could kindly answer my questions and he responded with “well you can decline the job offer! Thank you!”. This is the biggest scam if I’ve ever seen one so please anyone looking to get employed by this company- ITS A SCAM!! thank you. more
