Telegram to bring secure group video calls to tackle Zoom, Google Meet

NEW DELHI : Instant messaging app Telegram has announced that it is developing a group video calling service that is due to be launched later this year.

“Video calls in 2020 are much like messaging in 2013. There are apps that are either secure or usable, but not both. We’d like to fix that,” Telegram said in a statement on Saturday.

However, Telegram did not release many details about the feature of its upcoming service but it appears to be taking a dig at Zoom, which is facing pressure to fix several privacy issues.

Telegram also claimed that it has now over 400 million users across the world.
