A new frontier had been discovered for the advancement of our group. A new Home where our community is more tolerant and richly accommodating.

In the privacy settings you can choose who can see your phone number, which is nicely supplemented with a username, which you can use to add people without changing phones.

Flexibility
The Telegram Messaging app is device friendly. It's cloud-based advantage make sure your device's internal & SD cards storages are burden free from the traffic and weights of files been shared in our group (text, images, audio and videos)
