    For those of who are not familiar with this application, it is a free messaging application, very similar to Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, but it's got a lot of functionalities and a very strong focus on security
    .
    As you can see it has very good reviews, one is two stars because they can't save download files but I'm not sure about that because I haven't tested it yet. However, I do know that the application is very strong, it is a very good and secure application if you're interested in making sure your data is secure and protected. At 10MB, it's a very small install and it's free which means you don't have to pay anything at all for it.

Finally, I will receive notification that: "Can't download App" & "'Telegram x' can't be downloaded. Try again, and if problem continues get help troubleshooting: error code 963".
