What you get
You can keep conversations going across devices without keeping your phone connected.
Telegram gives you access to your conversations on your Mac, phone, and tablet without needing your phone to stay connected. You can start writing on one device and finish on another, so switching screens doesn't mean starting your message again. Your chat history stays available through Telegram's cloud.
You can send videos, documents, and other files up to 2 GB each directly in a conversation. For teamwork or community discussions, you can bring up to 200,000 members into a group and set up bots for specific tasks. You can also edit photos and videos before sharing them, or use stickers and GIFs when words aren't enough.
You have some control over what remains in a conversation: you can delete sent or received messages for both sides at any time. For conversations that need end-to-end encryption, you can use Secret Chats and set messages or shared media to disappear automatically.
