What is Telegram

Before going into the details of the procedure on how to use Telegram, I think you may be interested in learning more about this service.

Well, it is a 'instant messaging application, in other words, an alternative to WhatsApp. The similarities with the latter are therefore evident: they can send messages for free, via an Internet connection. However, you would be wrong to think that everything is identical to WhatsApp.

In fact, there are important differences: the service can be used without problems and without always having to keep the smartphone connected on more devices, even between different platforms (for example, Android, iOS, Windows and macOS). Let me explain: if you want to use your profile on two smartphones and maybe even on the PC at the same time, you can do it. This also means that going through a chat with yourself (Called Saved messages) is even possible quickly switch files from one device to another. Put simply, there is a kind of private space.

In addition to this, there is the possibility of creating gods channels, or the "pages" in which to update other people on what you are doing (without the latter being able to respond, it is a sort of space dedicated to fans or in any case to those who are interested in a certain type of communication) . Obviously, there is also the possibility of creating groups, as it is possible to realize secret chats, or conversations in which messages self-destruct (these chats are the only ones that use end-to-end encryption, thus offering the maximum degree of privacy, as messages travel encrypted even on Telegram servers).

Telegram also “embraces” the philosophy .: users can see the “behind the scenes” and thus fully understand how developers work. Furthermore, this potentially allows users to carry out application-related projects, for example by creating bots. Put simply, you can create artificial intelligences that respond automatically. If you have not understood this possibility and you may be wondering how to use Telegram for bots, you might want to check out my guide to the best bots for Telegram. If, on the other hand, you are wondering how do you use Telegram for music, you can refer to the appropriate guide.

For completeness of information, you should know that on Android there is also another version of Telegram, in addition to the "classic" one: I am referring to Telegram X, which represents a version that winks at developers and users more "geeks". In fact, this app is more customizable and allows you to try out more features.

However, if you want some advice, unless you know this world well, better aim for the "basic" version of Telegram, which is the one available on all other operating systems and which I will explain how to use in the next lines of this guide.
