Telegram has overtaken WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger to become the most popular instant messaging application in Belarus, Moldova, Jordan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Russia, and Ukraine. In July 2023, Telegram surpassed 800 million monthly active users. The same month, Telegram Premium, an optional paid subscription with several extra features, was introduced. In June 2022, Telegram surpassed 700 million monthly active users. Research suggests that the Telegram surge in January 2021 was driven partly by the deplatforming of Parler by big-tech firms. It was the most downloaded app worldwide in January 2021 with 1 billion downloads globally as of late August 2021. In January 2021, Telegram surpassed 500 million monthly active users. Users can send text and voice messages, make voice and video calls, and share an unlimited number of images, documents (2 GB per file), user locations, animated stickers, contacts, and audio files. Cloud chats and groups are encrypted between the client and the server, so that ISPs and other third-parties on the network cannot access data. Telegram provides optional end-to-end encryption for private chats. Official Telegram clients are open source, while the server is closed-sourced and proprietary. There are also two official Telegram web twin apps, Web A and Web K, and numerous unofficial clients that make use of Telegram's protocol.

Telegram was first launched for iOS on 14 August 2013 and Android on 20 October 2013.
