Telegram is a cloud-based instant messaging service that has been making rounds as a popular option for those who wish to keep their messages secure. Telegram boasts a collection of different features, but itβs best known for its ability to secure messages and media by encrypting them during transit; this prevents third-parties from snooping on messages easily. Letβs take a look at what Telegram can do and why you might want to use it.
