Telegram Messenger comes to Windows Phone

Telegram is a messaging app with a focus on speed and security and it works very similar to WhatsApp. When there were issues with WhatsApp after the acquisition, quite a lot of people switched to Telegram Messenger. There was no official Telegram Messenger on Windows Phone and we covered some of the best alternatives. But now the company has released the official app, which is in fact a rebranded unofficial app called Ngram.

The app is currently in beta and works well with all the features of Telegram. With Telegram, you can create group chats with up to 200 people so you can stay connected with everyone at once. Plus, you can share videos up to 1GB, send multiple photos from the web, and forward any media you receive in an instant. All your messages are in the cloud, so you can easily access them from any of your devices.

Telegram also comes with better security than WhatsApp with encrypted cloud storage. It also has Secret Chats, which features end-to-end encryption to ensure that a message can only be read by its intended recipient. When it comes to Secret Chats, nothing is logged on their servers and you can automatically program the messages to self-destruct from both devices so there is never any record of it.

Since it works on cloud sync you can have your messages in any device.
