How to Install Telegram on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
A freeware, cloud-based instant messaging application, Telegram is cross-platform and free for everyone. In addition to video calls that are end-to-end encrypted, the service also offers VoIP, file sharing, and several other features. With its end-to-end encryption for private messages, Telegram provides you with a high level of protection, but you can’t encrypt group chats. There is no premium content or subscription fee. Multi-device support is available. The Telegram app offers extensive storage to save or download files, along with cloud storage, so files can be backed up on the cloud.
