Connection - Telegram
The Telegram Connection uses the free, cloud-based instant messaging service Telegram. Telegram client apps exist for Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Windows NT, macOS and Linux. Users can send messages and exchange photos, videos, stickers, audio and files of any type. Telegram also provides optional end-to-end encrypted messaging.
