Honest review, very attractive apps are telegrams, and the security terms and save data are purely so better privacy it is. The storage system provides a better way to save, easily connect to gadgets.

★★★★☆ Raj v singh · Jun 24, 2026

I love Telegram for study groups, file sharing, and the 80-profile-photo feature! However, I have two requests:Hide Online Status: Please add an option to completely hide when I am 'Online' so no one can see my active status. Low Data Video Calls: Please optimize video calls to use less MB/data, so we can call for longer. Thank you for an amazing app!

★★★★★ King Shadow · Jun 24, 2026

Telegram is a very useful app. It's easy to share messages, photos and videos to friends and others. It's a great entertainment to me.

★☆☆☆☆ MD SAQIB HUSSAIN · Jun 24, 2026

Extremely disappointed with Telegram. I've used this App for many years without issues, and suddenly my account was banned and my phone number was completely banned from logging in. I am facing a serious issue with the login process. The verification OTP/SMS is not arriving at my mobile number. Even after waiting for hours and reinstalling the app, the problem is not fixed. It keeps showing "Too many attempts" or just stays stuck on the loading screen. This is a very poor experience for a message

★☆☆☆☆ Moni Sarif · Jul 6, 2026

Hello dear telegram team Today I tried to log in to my Telegram but our Telegram account has been banned by you. We have followed your entire privacy policy and rules. Maybe we have made some mistake unknowingly. Please forgive us and our Telegram channel. And try to recover our chat and activate our telegram account again. I will be forever grateful to you. Please try to activate our account as soon as possible
