The Telegram app is an instant messaging service for smartphones. The app uses the microphone and can even use the microphone in the background when it is minimized.
It also offers features like safety timers and self-destruct. The user can even make video calls and send SMS messages. The Telegram app allows its users to exchange messages with each other.
Its main feature is People Nearby, which helps users explore groups in their area and exchange contacts quickly. If you are using Android, you can access it from the side menu, which is hidden by default.
You can also manually allow people nearby if you want to see this feature. Another great feature of Telegram is the ability to send files. The app allows users to send up to 2 GB in size.
There is no need to save the file before uploading. Users can also watch an animated progress bar when uploading large files.
Users can set up two-factor authentication (called 2FA) and a password as the second factor. Two-factor authentication helps prevent users from sharing information, but it also makes users more likely to forget their password.
To prevent this from happening, keep your password safe and stored in a password manager.
Users should also be aware that Telegram collects and retains a lot of metadata. This data may include IP addresses, which can be provided to authorities if necessary. The company can also read messages and log them for up to 12 months.
Additionally, it can use the data to prevent abusive behavior and violations of its terms of service. Therefore, users should not trust Telegram with their private information.
The end-to-end encryption (ETE) feature in the Telegram app allows users to control the privacy of data shared during video and chat sessions.
Currently, this feature is only available in secret chats and is enabled by default. Unlike traditional messaging apps, it does not allow Telegram to store or process any data.
However, users can opt out of this feature if they wish. End-to-end encryption is the best option for those who are concerned about privacy.
End-to-end encryption ensures that no one other than the sender and recipient can read the message content. In addition to private chats, Telegram also supports encrypted voice calls.
The only downside is that you can't use E2E encryption for private group chats. Fortunately, this technology is becoming easier to implement.
Its main features are cloud-based messaging and end-to-end encryption. It also allows users to create bots and channels.
It plans to generate revenue starting next year. That revenue could come from selling premium stickers or other non-core paid options.
In April this year, Telegram’s active users surpassed 400 million. Since then, the company has launched its own advertising platform for its one-to-many channels.
The ad platform's goal is to make Telegram a viable business model and protect user privacy.
Previously, some analysts expected Telegram to monetize the platform by launching a blockchain token project, but that was canceled.
