Telegram is unlimited, allowing users to send media and files without any limits on type and size. It is secure, with chats, groups, media, etc. encrypted using a combination of 256-bit symmetric AES encryption, 2048-bit RSA encryption, and Diffie–Hellman secure key exchange. Telegram is 100% free and open, with a fully documented and free API for developers, open source apps, and verifiable builds. It is powerful, allowing users to create group chats with up to 200,000 members, share large videos and documents, and set up bots for specific tasks. Telegram is reliable, built to deliver messages using as little data as possible, and works even on weak mobile connections. It is fun, with powerful photo and video editing tools, animated stickers and emoji, customizable themes, and an open sticker/GIF platform. Telegram is simple, with a clean interface. It is private, with messages that can be deleted for both sides at any time and without a trace. For maximum privacy, Telegram offers Secret Chats, which use End-to-End Encryption and can be programmed to self-destruct automatically from both participating devices.

Software Reviews and Criticism

    Separated drawers for groups

    I am part of many groups on Telegram, many of which I don't really check all the time, only once a week or less, but they keep poping up contantly in my contacts list every time one of the thousands of members write a message, getting in the way of the contacts and small groups that I do want to see all the time. My suggestion is to be able to hide some groups or put them inside a folder. Maybe also a functionality for "grouping groups" also.

    The appearance setting has problem

    Since in the new version (5.8) the appearance has become changed, I could not use dark appearnce (System theme) with my custom colors. Please add feature to be able to change the accent color regardless of system preferences, like iOS version. Beside, in the chat background, when we select a dark color as background, the pattern would not be white and has a red tint. The appearance setting just like iOS version makes this app flawless.

    Better than Telegram Desktop

    Telegram for PC is a good attempt. It has a much smaller binary size than Telegram Desktop, it uses native AppKit UI components, and it runs much lighter on resources. However, it seems to be designed to match the iOS interface, right down to the navigation paradigm :/ It shirks PC interface conventions left and right, leaving long-time Windows users somewhat disappointed. I look forward to future updates where the developer works toward a more Windows-like interface!

    Customization needs an update

    Telegram is a great app for basically everything when it comes to messaging. It's simple to use but still very powerful and secure. But compared to the amount of customizability available in the mobile app, this version needs an update. You can only change the message colors or message and background at the same time. The mobile app lets you customize the background, accent, and messages independently. There is even an option for a gradient effect, which this version lacks. I wish it had the same options for appearance. Other than that, great app!
