telegram is a messaging app created by former vk creators with a focus on speed and security. it’s superfast, simple and free. it is like sms, but more powerful.

you can send messages, photos and videos to people who are in your phone contacts (and have telegram). you can also create groups for up to 20000 people or channels for unlimited subscribers.

for those interested in maximum privacy, telegram added secret chats, featuring endtoend encryption to ensure that a message can only be read by its intended recipient.

telegram's clientside code is opensource software, whereas its serverside code is closedsource and proprietary. the service also provides public apis with which developers can access the same functionality as telegram's official apps to build their own messaging applications.

telegram also provides a bot api for programmers to create different kinds of telegram bots. bots are simply telegram accounts operated by software – not people – and they'll often have ai features. they can do anything – teach, play, search, broadcast, remind, connect, integrate with other services, or even pass commands to the internet of things.
