★★★★★ Hasti Heidari · Jul 15, 2026

After many years, it is still much better than many social apps. I literally love it.

★★★★★ Saleh · Jul 21, 2026

Very useful app. There are so many things you can do with this app. Install it now, so you could join the telegram world.

★★★★★ aizat nazri · Jul 21, 2026

Telegram is a fast, secure, and user-friendly messaging app. It offers smooth messaging, high-quality voice and video calls, large file sharing, and useful features like channels and groups. The app is reliable and works well across multiple devices.

★★★★★ E Boyr · Jul 26, 2026

I absolutely love Telegram, but I have a few ideas that I think would make it even better: • Please add more font options—especially stylish ones. My phone language is Persian, and I'm not a fan of Samsung's default font. 😮‍💨 • It would be amazing if we could send photos inside messages in a larger, sticker-like format instead of the current article-style preview. • It would also be great if we could customize the message check marks (sent/read ticks) with different styles. Thanks 🌀

Why is the app asking me to make payments b4 I could log into my account.....my phone was stolen, and I had to change my email

★☆☆☆☆ Trendor Admission · Jul 15, 2026

Never shared my code with anyone but for some reason my account was hacked, sent countless messages to telegram but never got any response, even paid for a code which I never received and that is R30 gone down to waste, at the moment I can safely say telegram is a scammers ground, if not a scammer itself, can you please advise me how to delete my account permanently.

★☆☆☆☆ 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
