‘The main appeal of Telegram is that it allows users to send strongly encrypted messages, for free, to any number of a user's phones, tablets or computers, which is useful to people who need to switch devices frequently. It has group messaging features that allow members to share large videos, voice messages or lots of links in one message, without detection by outsiders because this service does not run through the computing cloud’.
