Telegram is one of the fastest growing cross-platform, open-source messaging service. It currently has over 35 million users all over the world. While the company behind Telegram only provides official apps for Android and iOS, their willingness to provide APIs has allowed third-party developers to create apps for other operating systems and platforms like Chrome web app, Linux, Windows Phone, OS X, Windows,etc. Besides the basic text messaging features, you can send pictures, files of any type (doc, zip, mp3, etc) to people who are in your phone contacts and have Telegram. You can also create groups for upto 200 people. Unlike WhatsApp, Telegram is cloud-based and heavily encrypted. As a rersult, you can access your messages from several devices and share an unlimited number of photos, videos and other files of any types. Telegram is also faster and way more secure. On top of that, it is free (no ads, no subscription after one year of usage)...
