Telegram introduces end-to-end encrypted video calls - The Next Web

Posted: 14 Aug 2020 12:00 AM PDT

Telegram is introducing end-to-end encrypted video calls on its platform as the chat app completes seven years. Right now the feature will be available in alpha mode on its Android app, while iOS users might have to wait for a little while to get this feature.

Currently, you can only do one-on-one video calls, but the company says that it will introduce group video chat in the coming months. Telegram's competitor, WhatsApp, already offers group calls with up to eight people on all mobile platforms.

Telegram says all calls are end-to-end encrypted and you can verify that with your chat partner through four emojis shown on your screen. You can learn about the encryption method used on this page.

The company says that it had submitted a version of the app with video calls on the Apple App Store before it submitted the Android version to the Google Play Store. However, Apple failed to approve the app in time, so iOS users will have to wait until the app is approved.

Telegram has more than 400 million users all over the world and the platform claims that it's one of the top 10 downloaded apps all over the world to stay in touch with people.

But amid continuing questions over her right to diplomatic immunity, it is not clear if she will return to the UK to fulfil a promise to answer police questions about her role in the car crash. The reversal of position on a meeting appears to have come after lawyers specialising in diplomatic immunity started to advise Dunn's parents last week, leading them to say they would pursue Sacoolas in the US courts for a civil claim.
