Telegram Desktop 1.1.29

Telegram Desktop is a messenger that allows you to communicate with other people across the globe. Much of its power comes from its making use of the services provided by Telegram, one of the most popular messaging services worldwide. The program is very easy to use, even more, if we take into consideration that its graphical user interface resembles that of other well-known messengers. This product can notify you when you receive a new message. Besides, it supports attaching files, including music, photos and documents.

In order to start a Telegram account, you need to provide your telephone number as a security measure. However, it would be better if it also allowed any other form of authentication. The most outstanding advantage of Telegram is security. Let us say, for instance, that it uses a unique protocol called MTProto and a combination of the most powerful encryption algorithms out there. Moreover, you can start a secret conversation using end-to-end encryption, which does not leave any traces on Telegram’s servers. Not only that, you can even use self-destruct timers to ensure your messages are deleted beyond recovery.

Another worth-mentioning feature of this service is the possibility of synchronizing your messages regardless of the platform you are using. By the way, there are versions of this program available not only for Windows and Mac OSX, but also for mobile operating systems like Android, iOS and Windows Phone. This lets you communicate across platforms, which is not possible with many other messaging tools. Now, getting back to synchronization, this is possible because your messages are stored on the cloud after being encrypted.

All in all, Telegram Desktop derives most of its advantages from the homonymous service. It is characterized by being fast, not requiring much bandwidth and, above all, extremely secure. As this service is also very stable and reliable, it is definitely one of the best choices out there.
