Everything you need to stay connected — built for speed, privacy and seamless multi-device messaging.
Your messages live in the cloud, so you can pick up any conversation on your phone, tablet, laptop or the web without missing a beat.
Secret chats use end-to-end encryption, self-destruct timers and device-only storage to keep sensitive conversations for your eyes only.
A distributed network keeps Telegram quick even on slow connections, and the desktop app stays snappy while syncing your whole history.
Send documents, videos and archives up to 2 GB each with unlimited cloud storage, so nothing gets compressed or lost.
Build communities with groups up to 200,000 members and broadcast to unlimited audiences through public and private channels.
Extend Telegram with powerful bots for reminders, payments, games and custom tools built on an open, developer-friendly platform.
Telegram Desktop brings the full messenger to your Windows PC or Mac with multi-account support, chat folders, powerful search and drag-and-drop file sharing. Everything stays in sync with your phone through secure cloud storage.
