The company states that this is to ensure “private data stays hidden from prying eyes.” The good thing about this is that, when the app is locked, the user will never receive push notifications. Unlike many other messengers, the Telegram app allows users to create a personal passcode lock. Telegram then sends you a verification code via SMS which will activate the app on your desktop device. However, partially because the software uses mobile numbers as identifiers, you are required to register your account via the mobile app(s) first. There is the option to provide a username so that others can search you, although if you’re mindful of your online data privacy then this isn’t advisable – any user can search for your username and then message you through the Telegram app.Īs with many other messenger systems, Telegram is also available on desktop (OS X, Windows, and Linux). Telegram’s interface essentially works like the majority of other messenger apps. From there, all you’ll need to do is download the app to your phone and register your mobile number with the app. For mobile users, the app is available on the App Store, Google Play, and the Microsoft store. Telegram’s installation process is fairly painless.
