Telegram has eventually become something more than a mere messaging app since its official release in 2013. Back then, nobody could imagine that Pavel Durov’s project would become one of the most popular instant messaging applications with 1 billion active users.

If you use Telegram on your Linux desktop to communicate with other people or get information from its channels, there is a way to make the most of this platform and increase your productivity.
