Telegram has truly simplified my daily routine and made it so much more organized. I have been using this app for a while now and it has become an indispensable part of my daily life. I really like its intuitive interface, customizable features like stickers, GIFs which adds more fun to my chats, and the cloud storage capacity which is simply amazing. Overall, Telegram is the best thing that ever happened to instant messaging and I'd highly recommend it to anyone.

Pros

Telegram has a lot of amazing features which I really love. The ability to share large files of up to 2gb, and to customize my experience on the app is so satisfying. I also love the fact that I can have groups or channels with up to 200k members, this feature is rare nowadays and it makes telegram to really stand out. It's security and cloud based storage gives me peace of mind knowing that I can easily access my chats from other devices.

Cons

Honestly, there's not a lot wrong I would say about Telegram though I would like for a way to stop malicious bots from messaging me to prevent spamming, I think that would be a nice feature to add.

A Platform's Promise Unfulfilled

Reviewed on 2024/03/22

In 2013, I joined Telegram, captivated by its promise as a bastion of privacy and a platform...

In 2013, I joined Telegram, captivated by its promise as a bastion of privacy and a platform committed to safeguarding free speech against the encroaching shadows of censorship. This belief held my loyalty, even as the platform grew and evolved. Yet, a recent series of events has compelled me to reassess this faith, revealing a disconcerting divergence between Telegram's proclaimed values and its actions.

My disillusionment stems from an unexpected encounter with censorship on Telegram—a platform I had long defended and trusted as an open space for discourse. My channel, @lukazone, dedicated to disseminating crucial insights into political repression in Belarus and the unfolding conflict in Ukraine, was inexplicably removed. This action was taken without warning, significantly impeding my ability to engage in public discussions or establish new channels for sharing information.

This unilateral decision by Telegram not only undermines the trust I placed in the platform but also significantly hampers collective efforts to bring global attention to pressing human rights issues. The channel, an extension of the https://luka.zone/ initiative, meticulously shared information within the bounds of public domain, focusing on names and workplaces—far less intrusive compared to other channels that remain unaffected.

The lack of transparency and the inability to appeal this decision casts a long shadow over Telegram’s commitment to freedom of expression. It's disheartening to witness a platform that once stood as a champion of free speech, now engaging in practices that stifle critical voices and obscure the truth.

I call upon Telegram to revisit its content moderation policies, to establish transparent, fair, and consistent guidelines, and to restore access to channels that play a pivotal role in the global fight against tyranny and misinformation. A platform’s true value is measured not just by its technical prowess or the security it offers, but by its steadfast commitment to the principles of open communication and liberty. Until Telegram realigns its practices with the ideals it purports to uphold, this review will serve as a stark warning to those who cherish free speech and the free flow of information.

Pros

Telegram's user-friendly interface and rich feature set, such as channels, groups, bots.

Cons

Its inconsistency in upholding its proclaimed commitment to free speech and anti-censorship principles. The platform's arbitrary and opaque moderation policies, especially when it comes to removing channels or restricting accounts without clear communication or a straightforward appeal process, undermine the trust users place in Telegram as a secure and open space for dialogue.

I use TELEGRAM for years, I have all my information of chats in there, several Backups of some important files and a big HD quality of my best and lovely photos, I can share or check anytime I wish, it's always on my hand with easy and great quality, also I have access to several communities to share knowledge with others with the same interest.

Pros

Using Telegram it's like a dream, you can control all your privacy and send large attach that other online msg don't allow, Telegram it's always innovating, have better graphics, better encryption, and allow user to be part of the future, and don't forget the UNLIMITED CLOUD that offer Telegram, you can send videos on HD quality and avoid the nightmare to encode or send it in parts, just use Telegram to have a happy life.

Cons

Telegram just run on new devices, could be great to have telegram access on old devicesl or a lite version/

Pros

The most important thing is that it automatically has its own bitcoin wallet when installing... it's a good feature because you can remove an image from the site in a message to whom you send it, and completely remove it so that the other user doesn't keep it.

Cons

Well, the fact that it automatically returns the directory already deleted... so I delete the directory and after the pin connection, it returns the same directory

Overall my experience with telegram has been exceptional. I love to use this messenger to live stream and connect with my clients. I feel it is very well built and is a true all in one messenger.

Pros

The thing I like most about telegram is that it is compatible with a lot of interfaces and browsers. I was able to use one account on multiple devices seamlessly and there was no hiccups with integration.

Cons

At this moment I did not find anything wrong with telegram, the messenger is cloud based and performs its functions very well!
