These Are Interesting Telegram Features You Need To Know!
JAKARTA - There are many chat applications that smartphone users can download, one of which is Telegram. This cloud-based instant messaging application was founded by Nikolai and Pavel Durov in 2013.
Not many know that WhatsApp and Telegram are competing with each other to fight for the throne as the most popular chat application. Even when WhatsApp is often plagued by hacking problems, Telegram has received a lot of praise for its more open, safe and private approach to sending messages.
Currently Telegram messenger is also available on all major operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and Linux, besides that there is also a web version. Of course, this application is free to download and use.
Many of the features of Telegram are very useful and much liked. Below are the features in question:
1. Telegram Supports Large FilesTelegram has the ability to send files larger than other chat applications up to 2 GB. All types of files, both videos and photos, will be sent at their original size and will be immediately available on all devices, even sharing with other users.

This chat application relies heavily on security and privacy, as its main features. Telegram offers end-to-end encryption and allows users to set a timer for 'self-destruct', aka deleting messages automatically with a specific time. This is a very important advantage because basically someone needs security in interacting.
In addition, Telegram also provides a secret message channel that cannot be forwarded carelessly, so there is no need to be afraid that confidential chat will spread. Even Telegram can find out if someone did a screen shoot of this important message.
3. Free Stickers, Animations and GIFsYes, just like other chat applications, Telegram also contains an abundance of stickers, animations and GIFs. Even users can edit or add animated stickers to messages.
4. Interesting Channels and GroupsYou can use the inline bot @ gif to quickly search for and send GIFs in any chat from the message field. (It's definitely pronounced GIF 😎) #TelegramTips pic.twitter.com/KYS0olS1VT

So a connected Telegram account can be used on the desktop, web, or application versions on smartphones. It is even possible for users to create more than one Telegram account.
