    - The self destructing secret chat is also an interesting feature.

    Negative: There is nothing much not to like about telegram except the fact that not enough people are on it at the moment.

    Helps in reaching out to large group of people

    Date: May 25 2020

    Summary: The application is best if you want to be a part of large group where people share useful material and messages with each other. For short and quick conversations WhatsApp is still the best option.

The UI is very simple and easy to understand. The voice calling works perfectly with good voice quality, It works even if the Internet connection is not that strong.

    Negative: The security is not that strong with the bots in the market our data can be easily be manipulated. The application does not have a video calling option that needs to be added.

    Date: Dec 13 2020
