Gizmo's Freeware: Send Free and Encrypted Messages with Telegram from your Android or Apple Mobile Device

Send Free and Encrypted Messages with Telegram from your Android or Apple Mobile Device Posted: 23 Mar 2014 02:43 AM PDT WhatsApp might be a widely used and well known messaging app, but its recent acquisition by Facebook has raised some privacy concerns as well as skepticism about Facebook's real intentions for that app. Luckily for us, there are many good alternatives and Telegram is one of them. Telegram is a cloud-based communication app that can be accessed and used from different mobile devices (provided they have internet access, that is) with the advantage of needing only one registered phone number. Its creators claim that user privacy is safe and that they will never give personal information to any 3rd party, but if you have doubts about any of the app's functions it is good to know this is an open source app, which means its code can be audited (just in case, you know). Once you have installed Telegram, it will look into your contacts and then will list the ones you can communicate with through the app. Once you send a message, a green check mark appears next to the text. At the time that the message is read (i.e. the application has been opened and the text has been seen on the screen), a second checkmark will appear. Any message you send through the app is encrypted, which makes it harder to spy on. On this respect, Telegram offers a bonus to all users who both value privacy and confidentiality above all things: the "secret chat" option. This option works by encrypting secret messages that leave no trace on the application servers. They can also self-destruct using a time trigger of your choosing. http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/send-free-and-encrypted-messages-telegram.htm
