What is Telegram?
Telegram is one of the most popular instant messaging apps like WhatsApp, Viber and other instant messaging Apps which provides features such as encrypted audio/video calls, text messages and file sharing.
Telegram is considered as one of the safest messaging app as it is encrypted and It is regarded as one of the most secure ways to communicate with friends and family.
Why Telegram is not working in Pakistan
Due to security reasons, it was blocked by Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) in 2017. After it was banned in Pakistan therefore, it was only possible to utilise the Telegram app with VPNs or by using different proxies.
VPNs or Proxies connects your IP to a server in another country and make you untraceable.
