Tip

To better explain and demonstrate, the documents include operation demonstrations and interface screenshots. Over time, the latest interface may differ in some details. In theory, unless there are significant interface changes, the screenshots should still be applicable.

About Telegram

Telegram (informally referred to as TG, Telegram, or paper airplane) is a cross-platform instant messaging software. Its client is free and open-source software, while the server software is proprietary. Users can exchange encrypted and self-destructing messages, send photos, videos, and all types of files.

  • High Encryption: Uses a unique network transmission protocol MTProto, immune to hacker attacks.

  • No Censorship: No need to worry about account ban, unless law enforcement can prove that the user is a terrorist.

  • Does Not Take Up Memory: Chat records are stored in the cloud, syncing seamlessly across any device, accessible anytime.

    Tip

    For information on Telegram caching and downloads, please refer to here.

  • Super Large Group Chats: Up to 200,000 members, equipped with various management tools (e.g., speech interval restrictions), allowing communication in large communities to be orderly.

  • Emoji Stickers: High-definition vector graphics format is used, and custom stickers are supported.

  • Bots: Open API interface allows developers to create their own bots.
