Q: What is Telegram? What do I do here?
Telegram is a messaging app with a focus on speed and security, it’s superfast, simple and free. You can use Telegram on all your devices at the same time — your messages sync seamlessly accross any of your phones, tablets or computers.

With Telegram, you can send messages, photos, videos and files of any type (doc, zip, mp3, etc) to people who are in your phone contacts and have Telegram. You can also create groups for up to 200 people or send broadcasts to up to 100 contacts. As a result, Telegram is like SMS and email combined — and can take care of all your personal or business messaging needs.

Q: How is Telegram different from WhatsApp?
Unlike WhatsApp, Telegram is cloud-based and heavily encrypted. As a result, you can access your messages from several devices at once, including tablets and computers, and share an unlimited number of photos, videos and files (doc, zip, mp3, etc) of any size. Thanks to our multi-data center infrastructure and encryption, Telegram is also faster and way more secure. On top of that, Telegram is free and will stay free — no ads, no subscription fees, forever.

It is already optimized.

Somehow I prefer the smaller keyboards and maybe even smaller fonts

lol all true. hahaha. everybody's using whatsapp so there really isn't any incentive to actually go out of your way to use another messaging platform that none of your contacts are using at the moment.

Lets raise awareness for telegram and let this be a wake up call for whatsapp. We can all do our part by introducing the app to your friends and family.

Unfortunately I agree with you. Whatsapp's got the first mover's advantage.

But let's all do our part to raise awareness for this app ba. Don't have to psycho the whole world to use it. Just a select few, then let others slowly see how good it is.

I think the greatest advantage is being able to use it across multiple platforms, i.e. phone, tablet, desktop, even in a web browser.

And lol, I don't work for telegram nor am I getting paid or anything.
