What is Telegram?

Telegram Desktop brings your Telegram conversations to a Windows computer. It suits typing longer messages, sharing documents and keeping up with groups or broadcast channels while working at a desk. Cloud chats sync across your signed-in devices, so you can continue a conversation from your phone or computer.

That synchronization has a privacy distinction: ordinary cloud chats use client-server encryption, not end-to-end encryption. Secret Chats are separate, device-specific conversations and do not sync from their originating device to your PC. Telegram also offers a paid Premium subscription for additional features.

The download here is the publisher’s Windows x64 installer. A portable edition is listed separately by the publisher; this card does not link to that package. The gallery screenshot shows the desktop Settings panel, not a guarantee of the appearance of every release.

What it offers

  • Continue cloud-chat conversations across signed-in phones, tablets and computers.
  • Send messages, photos, videos and files from the desktop.
  • Participate in groups and follow broadcast channels.

Good to know

  • Ordinary cloud chats are not end-to-end encrypted; Secret Chats remain on their originating device and do not sync to this Windows client.
  • Some additional features require the optional paid Telegram Premium subscription.
