Messaging services for some years now had a gigantic leap where multiple platforms are offered for this type of activity, some more robust than others, and one of these is Telegram . Telegram has been developed as a messaging application which has two key pillars which are speed and security, and it is also 100% free. Telegram can be used simultaneously on different devices, this will not prevent the messages from being synchronized..
Telegram allows us to send not only messages, we can also share photos, videos and files such as doc, zip, mp3 and it allows us to create groups of up to 200,000 people or various channels to transmit messages to thousands and thousands of users with the best security features. When using Telegram, we must know that it is an application that is based on the cloud, which offers us real-time synchronization and allows us to share files of up to 2 GB each, unlike many current applications.
