Telegram for Desktop is the official Windows app for the popular instant messaging platform, Telegram. It allows users to access their accounts and use the messaging tool from their desktop computers. To use Telegram for Desktop, users need to have a registered account, which can be easily created by providing their phone number. Upon launching the app for the first time, users will need to wait a few seconds for their conversations and groups to synchronize.

The sound quality is usually excellent, and users can share their screens or adjust the audio volume during calls. Another useful feature is the ability to create surveys exclusively for groups, with options for public or anonymous voting, multi-response, and exam mode. Additionally, the app has a user-friendly interface, with options to activate a night mode and choose from different color palettes. Telegram for Desktop is lightweight and consumes fewer resources compared to other similar messaging apps.
