Instant messaging applications have become a necessity in recent years to keep in touch with people who are at a distance from us. And this is so because, thanks to them, it is possible to talk in real time by messages, calls or video calls for free with all our friends.
One of these instant messaging applications is Telegram , with which we can send texts, stickers, audios and videos to a contact that we want quickly and very easily. This application is similar to WhatsApp Messenger, but they have their differences; even Telegram is considered as the competition of WhatsApp .
Telegram, was launched to the application stores in 2013 and since then, it has proven to be a complete application with very few flaws in its platform. In recent years, downloads of this app from the app store have allowed its number of users to grow to about 500 million.
Being a complete application, in the development of this article we will talk about its functions and how we can solve connection problems when downloading videos or photos.
What things can we do with Telegram?
In addition to what we already mentioned that we can do with Telegram, such as sending messages quickly, the number of functions in Telegram are many, thanks to its bots . For example, it has its Alert Bot, which allows you to create reminders , that is, as an alarm that alerts you when you have something planned in the bot.
Stickers
To complete the function of sending Stickers to your friends, Telegram , through a bot, gives you the option to find new packages of Stickers. Doing that is simple, you just have to enter the word “StickersBot” in the search engine and it will appear once, to see all the sticker packages send an emoji you want.
Create or join channels
With the Telegram channels , we can create a private or public chat where anyone can enter, to share information or offer our services. For example, it is normal to find new channels of series and movies, in which the creators upload the latest series and movies to be able to download them easily.
If we want to create a channel on Telegram , the process is simple; You just have to access the application and enter the menu at the top left of the screen. Once there, select “New channel” , then you will have to select whether it is public or private and also give it a name and a description and thus, you can add new people.
Functions within a chat
Within a private chat on Telegram with a friend or another person, you also have options in addition to sending audios, texts and stickers . Also, you have the option to edit a message that you have already sent, and even delete it, for yourself and for the other person as well without them realizing it.
In the same way, you can save the content , regardless of whether they are very heavy files, because thanks to its cloud, messages are stored there without taking up space on your mobile. On the other hand, you can search in a chat, placing a keyword in the magnifying glass, and you can find it no matter how old the message is.
On the other hand, you can send animated files, such as GIF’s, videos and photos up to 1.5 GB in weight without any problem. That means your contacts can send those files to you too; however, there are those who comment that photos and videos are not downloaded in a chat.
Why are the videos and photos not downloaded on Telegram and how to fix it?
This is a fairly common problem, and usually the main cause is that the person’s mobile is not connected to a stable WiFi network . It can also happen that the person if they do not have WiFi, the mobile data signal is not very good and the photos and videos are loading to download.
The solution in that case is to verify that your internet connection is good and you can download the files. If that’s okay, then the problem may be with the app; You can try deleting the data and the cache of it, from the settings of your mobile.
If the problem persists, it may be due to a Telegram update , it is recommended that you uninstall it and download it again from the application store.
