How to Use Telegram

Telegram is a free, cloud-based messaging app available on mobile devices such as iOS and Android devices as well as Mac and PC.
The app provides end-to-end encrypted video calling and file sharing.
The telegram was released back in 2013.
Telegram syncs between all devices has no limit on the size of media or chat, allows for large groups, and is heavily encrypted with the ability to send self-destructing messages.
You can download telegram at telegram.org or you can search Telegram on App Store for iPhone or iPad or Google Play store for Android.
When signing up for Telegram, you do need to type in a phone number to get started and create an account.
Once inside the app, you can give Telegram access to your contacts, start a text conversation, call or create a group.
You can create one-on-one conversations, group chats, secret chats, or new channels.
Telegram groups are ideal for sharing stuff with friends and family or collaboration in small teams. But they can be as large as 200,000 members.
Channels are similar to groups, but they are public. And there is no limit to channels.
Thank you for watching How to Use Telegram! Please share and subscribe and never miss the next great app.

Crazy how 1.25x playback speed sounds like you are normally talking.

[@worldoftech6547]

Yeah you’re right

[@janecote]

Once you start with 1.25, you can't go back to normal. It sounds like everyone is sedated. How long before I move everything to 1.5?

How do I create a new contact without giving Telegram access to all the contacts on my iPhone? If I click the + sign to add a contact, it asks for access. Is it possible to have a list of contact just for Telegram, without the app getting access?

Very well explained, thank you. I am a rank beginner on this app, so I'll have to study what you said many times. However, you didn't mention stickers. What are they all about? Earlier, I was in a group chat on this app, and of course it was easy to send text and attachments, but I was lost because many of them were advanced users of Telegram. So I hope the next time we meet, I'll know a lot more.

But how to follow someone's channel?

[@smokymtpotpourri4760]

From what can recall when I last had Telegram...when you open a channel there should be a "follow" link.

[@Traewing]

Dude I'm rooting for telegram. But I just got a notice that they have 700 million subs but I still can't make a post! I see all my friends (so I know it's in my contacts). But I don't want to contact them because most of my contacts are NDA contacts. So I should be able to select who I want to post to publically. My NDA says I'm not supposed to send app recruitment messages. Telegram is failing me. And not allowing me to find new friends outside of my business contacts...or select contacts on my own now that it has a hold of my phone. I'm old. I don't need this ish. Why I came to telegram in the first place. Deplore FB, Insta, and Twitter. It appears Black Planet is the most secure, least bothered and also a paid platform. I just can't. Can't deal with this ish!

[@Traewing]

And when I say paid I mean they report spins to Performance Rights Organizations globally. At this point, I don't have time for much else and will note that in my lectures to my students. Because life is not about automatic in Black America....(no matter what these folks tell you. It's about being able to navigate through this ish manually as an independent, Black folk.

[@j.g9200]

How do you join public groups?

[@KingArkon]

Search them up

[@genkiferal7178]

Telegram is said to be very secure, but the channels and groups are fairly public, so be careful and know that others can get intothe group or channel to create distractions - so your admin will need to be vigilant and users should tell admins about troble-makers. I find Telegram difficult to use on a phone and the content seems to jump around too often on its own. Also, there is a slight change that Telegram has a backdoor to its encryption. IsraEli investors helped fund the company and that sometimes means Big Brother has access to some extent. No blind faith, people. Trust no one. Telegram's requiring a real phone number is a clue.

[@MiClLC]

That's an interesting concept. A phone number isn't just a number, it's another form of ID.

Yes, it requires a real phone #, but you can enter a fake one or a second phone # if you do it through Google Voice. You can slo hide your # from everyone in the settings. Then, they can only find you by your user name.
