What is Telegram: the new WhatsApp?

 The Telegraph/ By Rhiannon Williams

Telegram, a free cross-platform messaging app, recieved millions of new users after WhatsApp crashed over the weekend. Will it become the new instant messenger of choice, asks Rhiannon Williams 











Telegram gives you the ability to send messages and photos with a self-destruct timer, much like another popular app. Like Snapchat, it's still possible to screenshot these images or texts before they disappear within the 'secret chat'. Within a secret chat, documents, videos, locations and searched images can all be shared, last from two seconds from up to a week. The app prides itself on its enhanced security, which it attributes to time-tested algorithms which combine security with high-speed delivery and reliability.
