Cloud chat, everywhere

A single account, five polished apps

Telegram is designed so the same chat can be picked up on a desktop keyboard, continued on a phone during a commute, and finished on a browser inside a coffee shop. Everything about the messenger is engineered for that hand-off to feel instant.

  • Sign in once, chat everywhere

    One phone number links every device. Cloud chats populate desktop, mobile, and web sessions within seconds after login.

  • History that never disappears

    Chats and media stay in Telegram's distributed cloud, so wiping a device does not wipe your history. Reinstall and log back in to restore everything.

  • Search across a lifetime of chats

    Server-side indexing means the search bar returns messages from years ago in a fraction of a second, no matter which client you use.

Why Telegram

A messenger engineered for speed, scale, and safety

Home FAQ

Common questions before you install

A quick round-up of the eight questions our support inbox receives most often. Need the full list? Head over to the dedicated FAQ page.

+Is downloading Telegram from this portal free?

Yes, Telegram is free on every operating system and every installer on this portal streams straight from the official Telegram distribution mirrors. There are no hidden fees, no bundled adware, and no third-party toolbars.

+Which Telegram edition should I install first?

Start with the platform you use daily. Telegram uses cloud sync, so once you sign in with your phone number, chats and media appear on every additional device you install afterwards.

+Do I need to create a new account for each device?

No. Your Telegram account is tied to a phone number, not a device. Install any additional edition, sign in with the same number, and every chat, sticker, and channel follows you automatically.

+How large is the Telegram installer?

The Windows installer is roughly 60 MB, the Android APK about 90 MB, the macOS App Store bundle around 120 MB, and Telegram Web has no installer at all.

+Does Telegram work on Linux or Chromebook?

Yes. Telegram Web opens instantly inside any modern browser on Linux, ChromeOS, and even locked-down enterprise machines. There is also a native Linux build available from the official Telegram site.

+What if the download starts slowly or stalls?

Refresh the page and click the download button again to trigger a fresh mirror lookup. Region-aware routing selects the closest edge automatically, but corporate proxies or VPNs may need to be bypassed.

+Can I use Telegram on multiple phones at the same time?

Absolutely. Telegram allows up to 10 active sessions across mobile, desktop and web. You can review or terminate any of them from Settings → Devices at any time.

+How do I know the installer is genuine?

Every Windows and macOS binary is code-signed by Telegram Messenger Inc.; the Android APK ships with the same signature that Google Play uses; iOS installs go through Apple's notarisation. You can right-click any installer to inspect the certificate.

Ready to install Telegram?

Head to the download hub, pick your platform, and let the installer stream directly from the official mirror. Every build is signed and version-locked for reproducible installs.
