Apps you need
Telegram is a superfast, cloud-based messaging app that allows users to send and receive multimedia files across end-to-end encrypted service. Its automated software like bots help users get things done with minimal interaction. With more than 500 million active users worldwide, Telegram is simple, fast, secure, and synced across all devices.
IFTTT helps to create applications connections with a simple statement: if this then that. For example: "Tweet your Instagrams as native photos on Twitter". You define a task by a trigger and an action.
