Telegram Messenger for Windows Phone and desktop adds text editing features and more
any news from telegram on a UWP app?
This is my favorite messaging app, me and my wife use it over regular text messages. We can use it from tablets, pc, web, or mobile... just love it.
Yep, one of the very best! I love the cloud based solution that is available to everyone. The features and execution is top notch. I am always getting more an more to use it.
I even use it as a sort of "Read it Later" app by starting a conversation with myself. It makes it nice because I can filter for just URL's or Images and not search through everything. I even use it to transfer files from one device to the other.
Yeah I love it! I use it for quick notes + everything else you said.
I do the same thing! I have a few different phones and I love having just one account. It has become a media storage and sharing account at times. Very easy to search for files, links, and media shared... Even if it is just with yourself. I just about cannot stand plane text messaging. Very powerful application that is much better than whatsapp and other by far.. yet, it just flies under the radar. After I was introduced to it, I have passed on the love. I just introduced it to my friend... She was like I dont like it the first time, and now thats all she uses. No message/file limitations and ease of use. Another convert!
Heavily underrated messaging app
True, a way much better than WhatsApp and Viber if you ask me..but you don't..anyway..I say it to you it's way much better :D
Am I the only one having trouble to update Telegram from the store? Not just this version, but every single update from the last year has given me an error. The only way for me to update is to delete the app and download it like new. With a Lumia 930.
I had the same issue last app version and it appears this version as well- only way to update is to uninstall app entirely and reinstall. L950 on latest fast insider build.
When will WhatsApp bring cloud backup option?
Can you please update your help image for Telegram articles... It hasn't looked like that in months...
I keep the desktop executable in a onedrive folder... Since there is no install required, it is available on any of my windows computers. It is always updated and everything is there... The application does not bug you for updates or more shenanigans from a larger parent company. Just a good application to its core. The developers are always working on it. Great job to them.
They should make it save to sd card like android
I have my whole family using telegram! Love that it's available on all devices and it works seamlessly between them!
