Seriously, what's going on with Telegram recently. I really love the app and always gave 5 stars , but recently, for no reason, I've been kicking out of my account several times. Whenever I open the app the are some weird groups that I've never joined them. And of course, each time my pin messages and my search history are removed. These stuff really scares me like my security is in danger and I need to delete my account and stop using the app.

Telegram is hands down the best messaging app I've ever used. It's fast, secure, and packed with features. The cloud storage and ability to send large files make it stand out from other apps. Plus, the customizations and bots are a huge bonus! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and versatile communication tool.

I really like this app and I find it very helpful for news. My only issue is that I pay for premium just for translation. I can only translate from my computer, and that's pretty annoying. It would be great if you would fix whatever the problem is so that I can translate Arabic channels on my phone as well.

I have never had any problems with Telegram, I loved the app for all of the things it could do. Recently, for absolutely no reason at all, my telephone number was banned. I have been trying for over 2 weeks to get their support team to even respond to a request I sent (via email, through the path that the app took me). I am posting a negative review in order to see if that will maybe get them to pay attention. I will advise how my situation plays out.

Telegram is a standout messaging app that combines security, functionality, and ease of use. Its unique features, like the extensive bot ecosystem and end-to-end encryption, set it apart. The intuitive interface makes navigation a breeze, while regular updates keep the app fresh and relevant. Telegram Premium offers great value with enhanced capabilities. Whether you're chatting, sharing files, or managing groups, Telegram delivers a seamless experience.

1. Replies don't send via notifications till I login the app, thus defeats the purpose of that feature. This is the first time I've seen an app fail this. 2. Won't stop asking me to link up my phone contacts each time I check friendlist. Nosy much? 3. Seems barebones and emotes are subpar but this seems standard for WApp knockoffs. Nothing remarkable here in my experience. Please fix issues 1 and 2. And make app stand out somehow... I liked active day/night mode feature (when it works)

Transferring to my new phone is rediculously complex. They make you delete the app from the old device. This in itself is seriously complex. In WhatsApp, just create an account with your new number, get a code and you're ready to go. Telegram makes you jump through hoops and after 3 tries, you just simply can't do it. I guess I'll just not use telegram.

This app has changed a lot over the years, and some ways not great. I have a Note 20 Ultra and I get stuck with loading screens that take anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes, and if I need to contact someone quickly, I'm out of luck unless I use a different program. Stickers take forever as well. I have gigabit speeds and my downloading settings are set to be efficient and quick. No idea why this is happening but I'm fed up.

This app is never consistent with voice messages. I'm on android and spend more time repeating what I told someone cuz I keep getting an error when I send a voice message and it will never let u resend despite it being an option. Please address this issue, cuz I'm about to just delete this app for good as it's basic functions don't even work

Would rate 0 stars for customer support. I really loved this app due to its unique and effective features, until my number was banned with no explanation and nothing to cause it. I used this app only to text my partner, no one else, and have had a legit number with my phone carrier for over 10 years, never broke any rules or ToS. Tried reaching out to customer service (which is extremely difficult, do they even exist??) many times for weeks, at this point 2 months, with zero response.
