Telegram is one of the most famous and largest messengers. Its active audience already numbers over 700 million people. At the same time, it continues to grow rapidly: every day it registers up to 2 million new users. Telegram’s popularity is due to the fact that it works on all modern platforms, protects user data and receives regular updates from the developers.
Telegram Web features
Telegram provides not only communication (with friends, colleagues, etc.), but also a lot of useful content in the format of channels: entertainment, news, educational.
Telegram is more than just a messenger. It is a new type of information platform. But, of course, Telegram does an excellent job as a messaging app:
- send and receive text and voice messages (with the ability to convert one type to the other using bots),
- any files can be exchanged: the size limit per file is 2 GB (4 GB with a premium subscription),
- you can join groups of up to 200,000 people and create video chats for up to 1,000 viewers,
- thousands of ready-made emoji can be used in messages, in reactions and in statuses,
- if you use Telegram on multiple devices (for example, on your phone and PC), your data can be synchronized.
Telegram Web is a browser-based version of the messenger. It can be run from both mobile devices and desktops. You can try two new full-featured versions of Telegram WebK and WebZ – both support animated stickers, dark mode, chat folders and more.
Difference between the WebK and WebZ versions
The K-version and Z-version of Telegram’s web client are developed by different development teams. The company believes that this internal rivalry will allow them to create a better product. Both versions work in the browser on mobile devices and personal computers. Externally they are almost identical.
