How to install Telegram
Once again, welcome to our website! Today we will talk about the popular messenger from Pavel Durov. Specifically, you will learn how to install Telegram on a computer or phone. So let's get right down to business without delay.
On computer
First, let's look at how to install this application on a PC or laptop. This is done as follows:
- If you have Windows 8 or 10, go to the app store, which can be found through the search or in the Start menu. When the Windows Store starts, write the name of the program you are looking for in the search bar located in the upper right corner.
- We start the search and select the desired result from the output. In this case, it will be Telegram-Desktop. When we get to the home page of the program, click the install button. As a result, the download and automatic installation will start. Once they are completed, you will be able to launch your messenger. The link will appear in the Start menu.
If you have an older operating system from Microsoft, such as Windows XP or Windows 11, you need to take slightly different steps:
- We go to the official website of the Telegram messenger. Select the desired platform and download the latest Russian version of the application. When this is done, run the resulting file.
- As a result, the installation process will start, during which you will follow the prompts of the step-by-step wizard and easily install Telegram on your computer.
- Since this application is tied to a phone number, we will need to activate the desktop version using the code received on the phone.
Also on a PC or laptop, it is possible to use the so-called portable version of the messenger. This is the best option and we recommend it to everyone. You just download Telegram Portable on the official website, unpack the archive and proceed to work with the program without installation.
To phone
On the phone, we will immediately consider three options for installing the Telegram messenger. The fact is that one option is used on an Android smartphone, the second on apple devices, and we can also use the program on phones without an operating system.
