Telegram Desktop

Telegram Desktop is the official Telegram app for MacOS, which allows you to use this popular instant messaging tool from the desktop of your Mac. As is typical of this type of app, you will need a user account in order to use it. This is very easy to do and will take just a few seconds using a phone number or an email address.

Synchronize all your platforms

The first time you open Telegram Desktop you will have to wait while all your conversations and groups are synchronized. Once this process is done, taking anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes, you can continue any conversation you have started in the iOS app. Similarly, you have access to any files, images and voice memos you have previously shared with that same account. Many Telegram users, in fact, use the app as a convenient way to send all kinds of files between their Mac and iPhone, or even to save voice memos.

Much more than a messaging tool

Although Telegram Desktop is an instant messaging tool first and foremost, it does offer many more features. Among the most commonly used is its video call function, which allows you to start VOIP calls with any other user of the app. These calls can be one-to-one within a conversation with any of your contacts, or group calls, within a group of up to 1000 users. Whichever option you choose, the sound quality is almost always very good, because it takes priority over the video. What's more, you have several interesting tools at your disposal, including the possibility of sharing your screen during video calls or adjusting the audio volume individually for each of the participants.

Create and share polls

Another incredibly useful and sometimes overlooked feature is its poll creation tool. This tool, oriented exclusively to groups, offers an easy way to create and send out polls. You can choose whether you want votes to be public or anonymous, or if you want the poll to have multiple responses, and you can even create a poll in quiz mode. There are a number of available options.

Customize the Telegram interface to your liking

Aside from its great many features, Telegram Desktop stands out for its user-friendly interface. From the drop-down menu on the left, for example, you can activate and deactivate the night mode with just one click, which is very useful. Being able to automate night mode, which you can do from the configuration options, is also incredibly useful. You can also choose from more than half a dozen different color palettes to give your desktop client a unique look.
