Translator, localizer Translation and Localization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Telegram, a versatile messenger for everyday needs" July 20, 2025 5.0 Overal experience is fine when using basic options and communication services. There are some extra options in the paid section of the messenger, but not sure I will use them. Pros I like most about Telegram that it’s free, stable, versatile and widespread service working as both desktop program and mobile app on any OS. Cons I hate how internal options of Telegram work (e.g. search, extra account creation/deleting, channel search and setting). It takes so much time to find or setup something, one is easily running into frustration while doing setups or searching how to do them. Review Source TW Taralee W. Agent manager Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Switching to telegram the prefect solution for prayer meetings. " March 9, 2025 5.0 So far I have taken a liking to this app, my experience is great and i dont have any complains so far it works well on low quality internet too. Pros Telegram is an excellent messaging app compared to many others. It doesn’t require a Gmail account for storage, and you can switch between devices without worrying about backups—your information stays intact. With strong privacy features, including secret chats, Telegram is great for those who value security. Another major advantage is the ability to send and open large files without any complications. Additionally, Telegram is ideal for hosting large online meetings, which makes it the perfect platform for prayer meetings and Bible studies. Many people have expressed interest in joining, but most apps have limitations on group size. That's why I’m recommending Telegram to my pastor as a better option for our community. Cons Telelgram isnt widely used as i would like it to be, you tend to find more people using other calling and messaging apps but overall its a great app to use. Switched from [WhatsApp](https://www.capterra.com/p/180345/WhatsApp/) When it comes to group calls it can allow you to add and invite more people. Review Source DS Deisiane S.

Pros Privacy and Security. Cloud Storage. Large-scale Groups and Channels. Sending Heavy Files. Bots and Automation. Cons Non-Standard Encryption in Common Chats. Lack of Identity Verification. Vulnerability to Malicious Bots. Moderation problems in Channels and Groups. Review Source Sera A.

I used it a few times and didn't really enjoy the way the app was stretched out. Pros Its best quality is that its a giod chatting system overall and connects you to many people all over the world. Its very easy to use and has no issues during use Cons Its a little dated as the system has the esthetics of an old style chatting system. I would make the looks a little more modern Review Source Nazım S. manager Real Estate Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Telegram for alternative messaging" January 19, 2026 4.0 Overall, I recommend it. I even follow some news from here. I can watch live broadcasts, but something needs to be done about the sexually explicit content. It's free and easy. I recommend it. Pros It's a good alternative to WhatsApp. I use it sometimes; it's fast, easy, and free. Worth a try. not bad. Cons There's a lot of sexually explicit content. You don't have to use it, but there's too much. There are all kinds of video channels without censorship. These need to be controlled. Review Source RC Rutherford C.

It performs with security and confidentiality. Pros The best thing about Telegram is you can chat with everyone easily, do voice and video calls, and share files, all in one place.

Review Source lC leonardo C. tecnico Computer Hardware Used the software for: 2+ years ### "versatile e innovativo" November 9, 2024 5.0 In generale, mi trovo davvero bene con Telegram: posso gestire gruppi, seguire canali interessanti e usare bot che semplificano un sacco di cose. È comodo per la sincronizzazione, così ho tutto sempre a portata di mano, anche cambiando dispositivo. Mi piace anche personalizzare l'app con temi e sticker, così posso renderla un po' più mia. Certo, a volte può diventare caotico con tutte le notifiche e qualche impostazione di privacy è meno intuitiva di quanto vorrei, ma nel complesso è uno strumento che trovo super utile e completo per la comunicazione. Pros Telegram è davvero comodo perché puoi avere gruppi enormi e canali per condividere di tutto, ci sono i bot che fanno un sacco di cose utili automaticamente e la privacy è super protetta con le chat segrete e senza bisogno di numero di telefono in vista. Funziona su qualsiasi dispositivo e sincronizza tutto automaticamente, quindi posso usarlo dove voglio, è veloce anche per inviare file grandi e posso personalizzarlo come mi pare con temi, sticker e notifiche. In pratica, è un’app completa e facile da usare sia per chiacchierare che per gestire community. Cons Quello che mi convince di meno di Telegram è che alcune funzionalità avanzate (come la crittografia end-to-end) sono disponibili solo nelle chat segrete e non nelle chat normali, quindi non è tutto protetto allo stesso modo. Inoltre, dato che è basato sul cloud, occorre fare attenzione a cosa si condivide per evitare di lasciare troppe informazioni in rete. A volte può anche essere dispersivo, con tante notifiche e messaggi se si è iscritti a molti canali e gruppi. E poi, rispetto ad altre app di messaggistica, non è sempre chiaro per tutti come funzionano certe impostazioni di privacy o di gestione delle notifiche.
