Available since January on iOS and Android, Telegram, a serious competitor to
Whattsapp that focuses on a cloud infrastructure to attract new users, will be
available in a few weeks for Windows Phone, according WP Central.
In line with the instant messaging applications like Whatsapp, Viber and
other Snapchat, which have experienced rapid development in recent months, other
competitors emerge.
This is the case including Telegram, a mobile application (iOS, Android)
which will be available in February on Windows Phone in beta version, before the
launch of a stable version a few weeks later.
Secure cloud
Telegram differs from Whatsapp by positioning itself
on the security of the data exchanged. The application is based on a
decentralized service based on the cloud, supporting Cryptography RSA (2048 bits
key) algorithm.
The startup also boasts a "faster" in the treatment of the data exchanged,
compared to its competitors.
Telegram is completely free, and excludes advertising to fund itself, and
account for it on donations from the community or the availability of
'non-essential' paid options.
