telegram

Telegram is a cloud‑based instant messaging app founded in 2013 by brothers Nikolai and Pavel Durov. It offers text, voice, video calls, file sharing, and group chats (up to 200,000 members). Messages are encrypted in transit, and users can enable end‑to‑end encryption via “Secret Chats.” The platform is known for its speed, cross‑platform support, bots, and a focus on privacy. It is free to use and funded primarily by founder Pavel Durov’s personal resources. Views Nigeria
