Telegram Desktop now stores regular chats on the cloud by default, giving you instant sync across Windows, phone, and tablet. You can share files up to 2 GB without compression, while Secret Chats stay on the device for end‑to‑end encryption. The update removes manual backups and streamlines professional workflows, making collaboration smoother and keeping your data accessible.
Automatic Cloud Sync for Regular Chats
How Sync Works Across Devices
When you log into Telegram on a new computer, all your regular conversations appear instantly because they’re already saved on Telegram’s servers. There’s no need to export or import chat histories; a simple sign‑in restores everything you need.
Bigger File Sharing Limits
Sending Large Media Without Compression
The desktop client now accepts files up to 2 GB, so you can drop high‑resolution videos or extensive PDFs into a group chat without worrying about size restrictions. Telegram handles the transfer quickly, preserving the original quality.
Secret Chats Remain Device‑Specific
Balancing Privacy and Convenience
Secret Chats continue to live only on the device you started them on, keeping their end‑to‑end encryption intact. This design choice prevents a single point of failure while still offering the speed you expect from Telegram.
Impact for Professionals and Teams
Compliance and Backup Simplified
Because regular chats are automatically stored in the cloud, you no longer need a separate backup policy for Telegram. Exporting chat histories for audits is straightforward, though you’ll need to remind staff that Secret Chats won’t be included.
Real‑World Feedback from Users
Developer Perspective
A freelance developer notes that the new desktop client feels like a natural extension of the mobile app. “I can drop a 1.8 GB video into a group chat without compression, and the sync is instant,” she says.
IT Manager Insight
An IT manager at a mid‑size firm explains that the automatic cloud storage reduces administrative overhead. “We no longer enforce a separate backup policy for Telegram; everything is already in the cloud,” he adds.
What’s Next for Telegram Desktop?
If the seamless sync and generous file limits prove reliable, you might see more teams shifting routine communication from email or other platforms to Telegram. The blend of cloud convenience and selective encryption positions Telegram Desktop as a strong contender for everyday professional use.
