The word "telegraph" was originally used to refer to a long-distance communication system that transmitted coded signals over wire—a long-forgotten system that is foreign to young social media users. Now, Telegram is hoping to bring a fresh new meaning to the word with its own publishing platform called 'Telegra.ph.'
Telegram is a fast, free and secure messaging app with features that enable huge group chats and an ad-free experience that have won over the hearts of many users. On the Telegra.ph website, users are able to spontaneously create content. Although it's not possible to save drafts, edit published content or schedule posts for the future, Telegra.ph challenges users to take it one post at a time.
To publish a post, one doesn't need a Telegram account—sharing is completely anonymous.
