      FAST: Telegram is the fastest messaging app on the market, connecting people via a unique, distributed network of data centers around the globe.
      SYNCED: You can access your messages from all your phones, tablets and computers at once. Telegram apps are standalone, so you don’t need to keep your phone connected. Start typing on one device and finish the message from another. Never lose your data again.
      UNLIMITED: You can send media and files, without any limits on their type and size. Your entire chat history will require no disk space on your device, and will be securely stored in the Telegram cloud for as long as you need it.
      SECURE: We made it our mission to provide the best security combined with ease of use. Everything on Telegram, including chats, groups, media, etc. is encrypted using a combination of 256-bit symmetric AES encryption, 2048-bit RSA encryption, and Diffie–Hellman secure key exchange.
      100% FREE &amp; OPEN: Telegram has a fully documented and free API for developers, open source apps and verifiable builds to prove the app you download is built from the exact same source code that is published.
      POWERFUL: You can create group chats with up to 200,000 members, share large videos, documents of any type (.DOCX, .MP3, .ZIP, etc.) up to 2 GB each, and even set up bots for specific tasks. Telegram is the perfect tool for hosting online communities and coordinating teamwork.
      RELIABLE: Built to deliver your messages using as little data as possible, Telegram is the most reliable messaging system ever made. It works even on the weakest mobile connections.
      FUN: Telegram has powerful photo and video editing tools, animated stickers and emoji, fully customizable themes to change the appearance of your app, and an open sticker/GIF platform to cater to all your expressive needs.
      SIMPLE: While providing an unprecedented array of features, we take great care to keep the interface clean. Telegram is so simple you already know how to use it.
      PRIVATE: We take your privacy seriously and will never give any third parties access to your data. You can delete any message you ever sent or received for both sides, at any time and without a trace. Telegram will never use your data to show you ads.
      We keep expanding the boundaries of what you can do with a messaging app. Don’t wait years for older messengers to catch up with Telegram — join the revolution today.

Jami, a GNU package, is software for universal and distributed peer-to-peer communication that respects the freedom and privacy of its users.
      Jami is the simplest and easiest way to connect with people (and devices) with instant messaging, audio, and video calls over the Internet and LAN/WAN intranets.
      Jami is a free/libre, end-to-end encrypted, and private communication platform.
      Jami is open-source software that prioritizes user privacy.
      Jami has a professional-looking design and is available for a wide range of platforms. Unlike the alternatives, Jami calls are directly between users, as it does not use servers to handle calls.
      This gives the greatest privacy, as the distributed nature of Jami means your calls are only between participants.
      One-to-one and group conversations with Jami are enhanced with instant messaging, audio and video calling, recording and sending audio and video messages, file transfers, screen sharing, and location sharing.
      Jami can also function as a SIP client.
      Multiple Jami extensions are available: Audio Filter, Auto Answer, Green Screen, Segmentation, Watermark, and Whisper Transcript.
      Jami can be easily deployed in organizations with the JAMS (Jami Account Management Server), allowing users to connect with their corporate credentials or create local accounts. JAMS allows you to manage your own Jami community while taking advantage of Jami’s distributed network architecture.
      Jami is available for GNU/Linux, Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Android TV, and web browsers, making Jami an interoperable and cross-platform communication framework.
      Manage multiple SIP accounts, Jami accounts, and JAMS accounts with the Jami client installed on one or multiple devices.
      Jami is free, unlimited, private, advertising‑free, compatible, fast, autonomous, and anonymous.
      Build IoT projects with Jami. Re-use the universal communications technology of Jami with its portable library on your system of choice.
      Jami for Android TV is tested on NVIDIA SHIELD TV with Logitech cameras.
      Jami is published under the GPL license, version 3 or higher. Copyright © Savoir-faire Linux Inc.
