What are the 4 best ways to use Telegram on PC? Secret chats are end-to-end encrypted with AES-256-GCM encryption, which makes them safe from hacking attempts. Telegram lets you create self-destructing messages in your secret chat with your contacts. You also have the ability to create groups for up to 5,000 people or channels for broadcasting to unlimited audiences. That means your private chats are protected from prying eyes even if you share your phone's internet connection with people around you. When you send messages, photos, videos, or files of any type (doc, zip), they are encrypted by default with AES-256-CBC encryption. The app uses the MTProto protocol, which is much faster than OTR and specially designed for mobile devices, so you won't have any issues with lag or slow speeds. Telegram has a focus on speed and security.

If you are an iOS user, Telegram has an option to use Siri Shortcuts which allows you to send messages using Siri. Telegram is also open-source, which means its code is public and can be audited by anyone.

On top of that, it does not have any ads, which means you will not be pestered with ads for other products. How is Telegram different from other messaging apps?
