TeleFive

TeleFive is a messaging and chat application for Android developed upon Telegram but with the intention of improving all its features and functions.

Telegram based messaging app

To challenge the privacy practices of WhatsApp, the world's most used messaging and chat app, the project that became Telegram was born. This application has emerged as the most accessible alternative to the Facebook-owned app, offering a higher level of privacy in conversations between users.

An Improved Telegram for the Japanese and Vietnamese

TeleFive, which primarily targets Japanese and Vietnamese users, was launched with the aim of further improving the functions of the Durov brothers' app. Features are the same as in Telegram, except that the Japanese and Vietnamese translations have been fixed to display correctly.

These are its main features:

• Cloud-based technology to encourage multi-device access.
• Fast message delivery.
• The messages are encrypted with the AES-256 protocol.
• No ads or subscription fees.
• No limit on the size of chats and sent multimedia files.

Requirements and further information:

• The app doesn't work on ZTE, Xiaomi and Oppo phones due to privacy concerns.

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 4.1.
• Installing the app using the APK file requires enabling the "Unknown Sources" option in Settings > Applications.
