To begin with, pay attention to the fact that the “calls” tab is at the top of the application by default. Applications began to duplicate each other and there was no longer any need for an alternative version.įor Android, Telegram X continues to exist and right now we will take a closer look at the application and see why it is better and more interesting than the standard one. Since the official iOS client switched to Swift, the programming language in which only Telegram X was originally written. Two of the most advanced applications (one for Android and one for iPhone) received the status of the official analogue of the main client.Īs we already said, Teelgram X was created for both Android and iOS, but since May 2019, Telegram X for iOS has completely disappeared from the App Store. Pavel Durov held a contest among third-party developers for the best alternative client, created on the basis of the TDLib Telegram library.Ĭlients were developed for the Android and iOS operating systems, one winner was chosen for each platform. Luckily for Telegram, there appears to be a public perception shift on the need for end-to-end encryption and with an impressive set of features, fantastic user interface, and overall ease of use, the messaging platform is a fine alternative to the likes of WhatsApp, Google Messages, Viber and more.Telegram X - is the official alternative Telegram client that was developed directly under the leadership of the messenger team. Considering that’s across devices and platforms, it definitely fits in with the download figure amassed on the Google Play Store since release.
That last official announcement of the messaging app’s userbase had Telegram sitting at around 400 million active users as of the end of April 2020. That 510 million+ download figure barely scratches the surface of the 5 billion from Facebook-owned WhatsApp or Google Messages recent 1 billion downloads.
If you factor in the alternative Telegram X version - which offers some extra features and a slightly re-jigged UI - then that total download figure increases by 10 million. Despite the dominance of WhatsApp messenger in vast swathes of the globe, Telegram has now surpassed the impressive 500 million download milestone on the Google Play Store.Ĭonsidering that the impressive cross-platform messaging app doesn’t come pre-installed on any devices like WhatsApp, Google Messages, or even Facebook Messenger, this makes the milestone all the more impressive (via Android Police).Īs an alternative to the myriad of mobile messengers, Telegram and Telegram X are offer some of the best features including full cross-platform support - which allows you to seamlessly switch between iOS, Android, and even desktop without losing your chat logs, media, and more.
