Telegram, one of the most popular and secure messaging apps in the world, is also available for PC and in web version. These two complementary ways of using Telegram, which go beyond its app for iOS and Android, also include its options and characteristic tools, such as stickers, animated GIFs, the possibility of sending files up to 1 GB and private chats with messages that self-destruct, for example. Here we show you how to get and use Telegram Web and desktop.

Telegram Web and Desktop

You just have to access its official website, enter your phone number and verify it through the SMS that Telegram will send you. Both versions are constantly updated and are automatically synchronized with all your Telegram sessions, including that of your mobile phone. In addition, using Telegram on your computer -either in the web or desktop version- has many advantages, from the ease of writing to the possibility of saving data from your mobile internet plan, to name just a few examples.
