Quick Guide to Telegram

Here you will find basic guidance and links on how to use Telegram for teaching, training, learning and development.

Telegram is an online messaging app that works just like the popular WhatsApp, but as Thales points out in What is Telegram and how different it is from other messaging apps?

“Telegram’s distinctive feature is security. It claims that all its activities including chats, groups and media shared between participants, is encrypted. This means that they won’t be visible without being deciphered first. The app also lets you set self-destruct timers on messages and media that you share which can range from two seconds to one week through its built-in feature ‘Secret Chat’. It also offers end-to-end encryption, leaving no trace on Telegram’s servers.”

Here’s a video that explains how to use Telegram

In August 2020 Telegram launched a new feature – end-to-end video calling.
