Telegram is a cloud-based instant messaging and voice over IP service. Telegram client apps are available for Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Windows, macOS and Linux. Users can send messages and exchange photos, videos, stickers, audio and files of any type.
Telegram's client-side code is open-source software but the source code for recent versions is not always immediately published whereas its server-side code is closed-source and proprietary.The service also provides APIs to independent developers. As of April 2020, Telegram has 400 million monthly active users. The announcement included a promise to implement secure group video calls in 2020.
