Differences Between Telegram and Telegram X
Telegram X is considered an additional version of the official and popular chat app, Telegram. It was originally developed by independent developers based on the original application, but Telegram later acquired it and rebranded it under a new name.
Telegram X does not conflict with the official app and can be downloaded alongside it on the same device. There are some differences between the two apps, such as quick chat previews, gesture features in private chats, and other features not found in the official app.
Private Chat
You can start a private chat with any friend from your shared contacts list. You can initiate a regular conversation or start an ephemeral chat where no message data is saved, and the chat is automatically deleted after a set period, and no messages can be forwarded between the two parties.
In private chats, you can share photos and videos from your camera or gallery, share files regardless of their number or size, share your current location, or contact details from your phone. There are also plenty of emojis and sticker packs available for free.
You can use gestures in private chats to interact with messages. You can reply to a message by swiping it to the left, and swiping it to the right will forward it to another friend. Gesture settings can be adjusted in the app's settings.
Groups and Channels
You can create a new group and invite friends to join, share discussions, and important moments. Simply enter the group's name, select members, and it will be created instantly. You can control notifications from the group, create an invitation link, and send it to your friends.
There are many channels on Telegram that share images, news, and more. Followers of a channel can read the news without the ability to comment, unlike groups. You can search for any channel by typing its name in the search bar at the top.
App Settings
There are many options available in Telegram X's settings. You can control notifications for chats, groups, and channels, enable quick message previews that show the latest messages without opening them by long-pressing, enable data saving mode, and stop automatic downloads of images, videos, and files. You can also control privacy settings, such as hiding your last seen status, adding a passcode lock, enabling two-step verification, and more. Additionally, you can change the app's colors and themes and download more stickers.
