Telegram is an application to communicate with other people just like Whatsapp is; however, the options Telegram offers are unmatched by any other app. The basis we have to say this is that its options are not only to send texts, audios, images or stickers, you can also download music, series or movies.
It is an application that goes beyond those details that we have just mentioned, because those are only 40% of all the things that you can find on Telegram. In addition to that, it is the only application that allows you to create groups or channels with around 200,000 people to be able to make important broadcasts.
Why has Telegram become so popular?
Telegram was launched in 2013 and has always caused a great impact on all people worldwide due to all the features and tricks it has, it currently has more than 180 million users. A good detail of this instant messaging application is that you can install the application on PC and have the accounts open at the same time.
The platform of this incredible app has its own protocol, which allows it to encrypt user conversations and give them greater security. Along these same lines, the privacy it offers is unmatched by any other; you can even choose among your contacts who can see your profile information and who can’t.
The fact that the same account can be opened on different devices is due to the service it offers based on a cloud with a lot of storage for any information. And like other similar means of communication, it allows you to create direct accesses to the chats and configure each of these separately.
There is also the option to automatically delete messages when leaving a chat. Also, you can have secret chats without having to worry; or you can keep your conversations private by placing a code or password to enter a chat.
Now, we also want to explain a new service that Telegram has presented in its latest updates and how you can use it 100%, we are talking about the Telegram Passport option.
How to upload your ID in Telegram Passport?
First, let’s get to know what this new update is about; It is an authentication service that will be pending to give our data and confirm that you are a real person. With this service, we can register on any website without having to justify it each time, but rather Telegram will share the data securely.
To start this identification it is important to perform the verification in 2 steps of Telegram, this is activated in the application settings. You access it, and select “privacy and security” and in the “security” option you verify with a password and an email to confirm.
Having already done this, you can carry out the Telegram Passport process; It is done from the Telegram website where you can uncheck any option that you do not think is necessary to share.
Then, select “login in with Telegram” and select “Telegram” where they will ask us for the password that we put in the verification and an email along with the phone number to confirm. Once this is done, you have to go to configuration where the Telegram Passport option will appear, in the “Bots and websites” option.
In that option, the data that we provided before will appear, which will be private information that has been confirmed by email and telephone number. Providing and saving all this information in the Telegram cloud will help us a lot in the future to speed up any process.
