You can use Telegram to send text messages, photos, videos, and files of any size to individuals or groups of up to 200,000 members. Messages are end-to-end encrypted and can be set to self-destruct. You can access your chats from multiple devices through cloud sync, create channels for broadcasting to large audiences, build bots using the open API, and make voice or video calls. It works on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, and Linux.
