Telegram is a messaging app with a focus on privacy, security, and speed. You can use Telegram on all your devices at the same time — your messages sync seamlessly across any number of your phones, tablets, or computers.

With Telegram, anyone can send messages, photos, videos, and files of any type (doc, zip, mp3, etc), as well as create groups for up to 5000 people or channels for broadcasting to unlimited audiences. The user can write to its phone contacts and find people by their usernames. As a result, Telegram is like SMS and email combined — and can take care of all personal or business messaging needs.
