On the "fun side", gifs are very useful when you try to convey a feeling. Pros What I like the most is that they do not use my date for commercial use. Cons It is sometimes difficult to ask for people to change from WhatsApp to Telegram, but once they try it, they love it! Switched from [WhatsApp](https://www.capterra.com/p/180345/WhatsApp/) I did not what my data to be used by a company. Review Source OS Oleksiy S.

" July 24, 2022 5.0 Pros Super easy to use, history search works well, until I noticed no glitches, works great on both laptop and phone. I use the feature of saving messages as a notepad for my notes. Way better alternative than the outdated Skype. Cons No major cons so far. If the submitted picture/image has not been compressed, viewing it without downloading it as a file and then searching through history won't work. Just check the box next to the phrase 'compress images' once before sending the image. Review Source Esther M.

Since the messages are stored on the cloud one can always access important information such as files at their own convenience. It’s not only useful for communicating with business team members, but also allows for private chats with friends and relatives as long as they have the application. Pros A great chatting application that takes communication to another level. It’s a free application that you can use on different devices, whether a PC, laptop, mobile phone or table. One great feature love about Telegram is the ability to send large files despite their format. Telegram is a great chat application if you have a business, as teams can start work related discussions and everyone will be able to view the information. Cons I think it is not widely known and because of this one has to use other chatting applications when communicating with those who do not have the application installed on their devices.

Freelancer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Telegram Review" November 30, 2021 5.0 Overall, it is an excellent application for instant communication and discussions with coworkers, customers, and others. It frees up RAM and disk space on my device. It allows me to share images that will be delivered in the same quality. Once shared, the file is still available for download. It enables the creation of large groups with a large number of members for discussion and sharing on a larger platform. Pros This software has a simple interface, fast performance, is lightweight on the device, and is freely available for instant communication in text, audio, or video. The sent images maintain high quality. Once sent, the files remain available. It allows large groups to hold discussions with a larger group of people. the previous group discussions can be accessed by newly added members. Cons Telegram creates space for scammers and hackers because of its benefits. Scammers can join groups and send links to other people without requiring any permission. Review Source Ethan M.

However over the years less people started using it and migrated to other platforms that have been serving them more. Pros Peer to Peer messaging platform that at one point in time embodied an ethos of secure messaging. It had an energy and functionality similar to signal and wickr, and allows people to communicate with eachother. Cons From my understanding the platform itself is no longer as secure as it once was, it's notoriety and high visibility made it easier to potentially compromise, hence what might have once been a more secure messaging platform no longer is, from what I've heard- rumor or fact, this potential sentiment has deterred me from using the platform just in case, mostly based on the fact that more secure messaging platforms exist. The features may not be worth losing your data over. Switched from [Wickr Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/207181/Wickr-Pro/) Wickr's platform at one point in time was more widely used by people and seemed safe however its functionality did not seem as modern so I made the effort to switch to telegram.

(But does the job perfectly)" September 15, 2022 5.0 One of the Best Pros \- Quick communication - Larger File sharing - Easy to share - Easy to have group chat Cons No so far. Actually this app provides the best user experience and features even before the Top competitor does.. Review Source JV Jackeline V. licenciada Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "La nueva era del telegrama " November 21, 2022 5.0 La difusión de mensajería instantánea y simultanea es la mayor ventaja a la hora de difundir una invitación, un mensaje importante, promocionar un nuevo producto o un simple saludo a la familia, amistades y colegas. Pros Telegram es la nueva versión del antiguo telegrama que era algo complicado y demorado, pues se requería no solo de ser preciso, más bien exacto con el mensaje que además no permitía usar más de cierto número de caracteres sino también tener código postal y pagar un precio por su envío que solo se realizaba en oficinas acreditadas para ello, en cambio ahora Telegram reemplazó todo aquel servicio por uno inmediato, a la mano, fácil de usar, de enviar no solo a una persona sino que también integra a grupos o empresas dirigiendo un mismo mensaje de forma simultánea sin tener que reescribir un mismo texto varias veces y fuera de eso gratis, es genial para cualquier persona que tenga su propio negocio y quiera difundir contenidos a sus clientes, lanzar nuevos productos y demás por el estilo. Cons Posee buenas funciones, pero, muchas personas y empresas no lo usan, no están popular y debido a ello se están perdiendo de una magnífica oportunidad de tener una herramienta útil para su vida personal, de microempresario o de auto empleado, creo que debería mejorar su publicidad para ser más conocido, seguido y utilizado.

Pros It is a free application to be used for instant messaging and chats. Audio and video call options are available. Provides options to share file and photos. Cons People can share harmful links in the messages that can effect your device.

Cons I do wish that after you've put up a channel and it's been used for a time, you could adjust how others interact with it more easily. I created a channel for my company, and while I still enjoy it, I want my customers to be able to speak in the comments section of a post that I broadcast.

Pros Telegram is easy to use. It is user friendly and it gives you quick access to message friends and family anywhere, anytime and also get feedback from them in no time. Cons it doesn't have a segment to upload status update like few software does. Review Source Guilherme D. Developer Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Telegram: the best communication software of all time." July 21, 2020 5.0 With Telegram i can talk about anything with anyone without fear of censure or any bug, its useful in not only any kind of job or work, but in entirely life. When i can, i use Telegram for anything in my life. Pros Telegram provides any kind of resource that any user will need or ask for in a communication software. You can download a lot of stickers packs or even create your own, can use bots on groups to play games, send videos, photos etc. Perfect software, and has excellent criptografy. Cons Maybe could have more resources on clean portuguese, and i think its not good when the app notify when any people of contacts list start using Telegram.

October 13, 2019 5.0 We have been using Telegram as a mean of communication for a while now in our company due to the innate security in the application and the fact that we do not need to share our personal phone numbers or email address in order to communicate. Every phone can use it, every computer has it. It's that easy to use. Even our operators communicate every operation performed through this app because they don't like to walk upstairs and report to the quality department. Pros Telegram has far superior end-to-end encryption compared to other IM softwares like WhatsApp. It's fast, easy to use, and it doesn't require you to share personal info like phone number or email address to use it well. Cons I can't say there is anything I dislike about Telegram, except maybe the frequent updates (then again, who complains about updates? That means developers actually care!).

Project Manager Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Telegram for teams" May 17, 2022 5.0 On one hand, it is more interactive and direct than other tools. On the other, is not as well organized, since the channels are always appearing to you like the ones with the latest updates. Pros Telegram is a direct message app that can make your team communication simpler and faster. Cons It can be tricky regarding the safety of the information, extensive resources for informal communication, and not that great for business purposes. Switched from [Slack](https://www.capterra.com/p/135003/Slack/) Telegram was free, had a better Mobile App and we could put as many contacts as you wanted in the groups Review Source Josh H. Senior Email Data Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Go-To chat tool" May 14, 2019 5.0 Pros I love how easy this is able to connect to my family, friends, and peers. It has enabled me to keep in touch with people seamlessly from my desk to my mobile device and not miss the conversation. Even the ability to play games using the dice feature has been very rewarding. Cons Sometimes the GIF feature disappears from my device. I click on the option to add a GIF, but where the library used to pull up automatically, it is instead just a messaging pane. Nothing ground breaking, but a slight annoyance when I am trying to deliver that one perfect GIF at the perfect timing of the conversation. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great option to regular text message app" July 30, 2019 4.0 GREAT! I love it1 Pros What I like most is the ability to save your favorite or important messages in a "saved message" bookmark! That makes it so much easier to go back and find a message that has information you may need quickly. I also like the secret chat option - just in case your phone lands in the hands of the wrong person! I also like to channels that can be created - a great option for group chats! Cons What I like the least is the potential for spam messages. Somehow I receive lots of spam messages from people requesting me to join their channels - and some channels are not appropriate.

Cons Lo que no me gusta es que no se pueda generar ingresos, que la app te page por el tráfico de miembros que tienes en tu grupo, o bonificaciones pequeñas como recompensas. Switched from [WhatsApp](https://www.capterra.com/p/180345/WhatsApp/) Por su función de poder archivos que whatsapp pone un limite de peso.

Pros In our daily busy life we needed something like this, to have all short news in one place, when I also found out there are groups who share playlists and you can listen to music from inside the app, I was very surprised and happy. It is also great adventure that you can share larger files. One of my favorite apps so far. Cons I cannot think of something I don't like in this app. Maybe it will be good to have an opportunity of creating an account without phone number.
