Telegram is a non-profit cloud-based instant messaging service. Telegram client apps exist for Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Windows NT, macOS and Linux. Users can send messages and exchange photos, videos, stickers, audio and files of any type.
Telegram was founded by the Russian entrepreneur Pavel Durov. Its client-side code is open-source software but the source code for recent versions is not always immediately published, whereas its server-side code is closed-source and proprietary. The service also provides APIs to independent developers. In February 2016, Telegram stated that it had 100 million monthly active users, sending 15 billion messages per day. According to its CEO, as of April 2017, Telegram has more than 50% annual growth rate

Multiple themes was already supported by Android but this time it is launched for iOS. Telegram provides appearance settings with four different themes including a minimalistic one (“Day”) and two dark themes (“Night” and “Night Blue”).

Quick reply is as simple as it could be possible, just swipe left on any message to reply on that.
