Telegram is currently one of the great alternatives to WhatsApp, the most popular messaging app in the world. The reason is not really just one, since it offers many more options than most apps of this type. If you have any questions about how to get the best out of this application , here are a few tips :
How to register in Telegram
- Download and install the Telegram application on your device (‘smartphone’ or ‘tablet’) through the Play Store (Android) or the App Store (iOS).
- Open the app.
- Enter the mobile number.
- Please confirm this number.
- Enter the numeric code that you have received in an SMS.
The app, schematic
You will see that there are four tabs: Contacts (where you can find all your contacts that use Telegram), Calls (list of calls made and received), Chats (the list of conversations already started) and Settings (where you can manage notifications, privacy, security , storage, appearance, etc).
Can I use Telegram on my computer?
As with WhatsApp, you can also chat with Telegram from different devices, whether it is a PC, tablet, a second mobile … To do so, we just have to go to web.telegram.org and register as on the phone with a number phone number and a confirmation code. When you enter it, everything will be ready and the app will be synchronized on your devices.
Use multiple accounts on Telegram
A single Telegram user can use multiple accounts. To perform this function you just have to touch the arrow next to your name and add an account. Of course, for each account, you will need a different phone number. Follow the instructions of the application and you will see how easy it is to use several accounts in Telegram.
Use photo album as avatar
If you feel like creating a gallery with all of them instead of a profile image for your friends and family to see, you can. It is usually a function that many overlook, but it is quite curious. You just have to configure your account to create an album with all the profile images that you upload. If you ever regret any of them -or all of them- you can delete them by accessing the three-dot icon that you will find at the top right of the screen.
Put dark mode on Telegram
Did you know that Telegram has a dark mode? You have two ways to put it: 1) activating a permanent dark theme and 2) using the night mode to activate at a certain time in the afternoon or night. Go to Settings, then Theme and choose Automatic night mode or configure it to your liking from there.
Delete Telegram
If you are tired of the application or you just want to take a break for a few months but you don’t want the app to remain active on your phone, Telegram gives us the solution. There is the option of elimination or self-destruction of the account either permanently or for a period of between 1 and 6 months . If you do not log in again within the stipulated period, the account will be permanently deleted.
