Telegram is a messaging service where it provides the freedom to video call, share files, voice chat and other important features like sharing videos and images. It is a messaging software that provides greater security than any other apps. 

We can send photographs, videos, and audio as part of their messages; it's a fairly secure messaging program, and you won't lose a lot of data unless you upload or download large things; talking only uses MB of data, and telegram's features are really attractive, with backgrounds and noises.

Telegram has been one of the most amazing ICT tool that is used by every common people nowadays. But it takes a greater role for educational purposes where we can easily get access to information and materials uploaded by our teacher. Due to covid situation we had to take online classes regularly.

Nowadays we find ourselves in front of many applications and software that appear on a daily basis for the purpose of social networking, but few of us are looking for the possibility of using them in education. Therefore, the importance of social media programs, sites, applications and software in the educational process increases.

 As educators, we should look for the possibility of investing the means and applications of social communication in the educational process in a practical and functional manner, with the aim of facilitating a lot of tasks for the teacher and the learner in the educational process.
