After leaving the post of general director of the social network VKontakte, Pavel Durov was entirely concentrated on his new project - Telegram. Messenger was instantly able to acquire the army of fans, and then we will look at why.
Creating chats
Like any other messenger, Telegram allows you to transmit text messages to one and more users. However, according to developers, their solution is much more reliable, if compared with similar messengers, as software works on the MTProto engine, which provides its stable and fast operation.
Secret chats
If, first of all, you are concerned about the confidentiality of your correspondence, you will definitely like the ability to create secret chats. The essence is that all correspondence is encrypted from the device to the device, not stored on the servers of telegrams, they cannot be sent, and they also self-suite after a certain period of time.
Stickers
Like many other messengers, telegrams are equipped with support for stickers. But the main feature here is that all stickers are available for download absolutely free.
Built-in photo editor
Before you send the user image, Telegram will offer to make adjustments to it using the built-in editor: you can apply funny masks, insert text or draw with a brush.
Change background image
Adjust the appearance of Telegram by selecting one of several dozen available background images. If none of the proposed pictures suits you, download your own images.
Voice calls
Telegram can help significantly save on cellular due to the ability to make voice calls. Currently, telegrams do not support the possibility of group calls - you can call only one user.
Sending location information
Give the interlocutor to know where you are at the moment or where you plan to go, sending a label on the map in chat.
File transfer
Through the application itself with telegrams, due to the limitations of iOS, you can only pass photos and videos. However, you can still send to chat any other file: for example, if it is stored in Dropbox, it is enough to open the "Export" item in its options, select the Telegram application, and then the chat, where the file will be sent.
Channels and Botov Support
Perhaps the channels and bots are the most interesting features of Telegram. Today there are thousands of bots capable of performing various operations: inform about the weather, making newsletter, send the necessary files, help learn foreign languages and even endow the application with Russian localization.
For example, you probably have already noticed that the IOS telegrams do not have the support of the Russian language. This shortcoming is easy to correct if you search for a bot with the @Telerobot_bot login and send him a message with the text "Locate iOS". In response, the system will send the file to be tap by selecting the Apply Localization item.
Drawing up a black list
Any user may encounter spam or obsessive interlocutor. For such cases, it is possible to draw up a black list that are included in which contacts will no longer be able to communicate with you.
Installation of the password
Telegram is one of the few messengers that allows you to install a password code on the application. If your iOS device has a Touch ID, unlocking can be carried out using a fingerprint.
Two-stage authorization
In the telegrams, data protection is set to first place, because the user can configure two-stage authorization, which will allow you to install an additional password, significantly enhancing the account protection.
Management of active sessions
Since telegrams are a cross-platform application, it can be used on different devices. If necessary, you can close the sessions open on other devices.
Automatic removal of account
You can independently install, through what period of time of inaction in the telegrams your account will be removed with all contacts, settings and correspondence.
