Telegram has been making headlines repeatedly in recent days, but probably not for the right reasons. Telegram CEO Pavel Durov was recently arrested, but has now been released on bail by a French court. Despite all these controversies, Telegram remains one of the most popular apps for sharing files and sending messages. The reason for Telegram’s success is probably its interface, which offers a cross-platform, cloud-based, distributed messaging service without ads.

If you are in the business and marketing field and use Telegram, it is recommended that you sync your phone contacts with Telegram and then download your Telegram contacts. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do this.
