Kenyan Telegram Channels and Groups to join in 2019

Telegram is the King of messaging apps that has not been discovered by many people globally. Of recent, many people across the globe are moving in a hurry to install this application and perhaps uninstall WhatsApp and other messaging applications. The reason is that telegram has super important features that most messaging apps don't support yet. These features include:

1. Telegram groups support up to 200,000 members. This is hundreds of times beyond WhatsApp which at the time of writing this article only supports 257 members per group.
2. Telegram is a cloud-based application. This means that whether you uninstall it accidentally or lose your phone, you can still get back your messages when you install it back. Your messages won't be lost.
3. Telegram has Channels, these basically allow people to subscribe to them and then the messages broadcasted by that specific channel will get to them. Let's say you have a brand that has followers, you can create a telegram channel and tell your followers to subscribe to it so that you can be updating them through that channel.
4. Telegram is perhaps the most secure application in the universe, in fact, telegram messages are self-destructive. This means that they can delete themselves under a specific circumstance. If you take around seven months before logging into your account, your account and messages will automatically delete themselves.
5. You can use telegram as cloud storage; with telegram, there is no limitation of the size of the file you want to upload. Whether is as small as 2mbs or as large as you think, telegram still supports.
6. Telegram has an instant view feature whereby if you have a blog you want to instantly display to your followers in the telegram, the instant view bot(robot) can help you process the post and make it available to your followers instantly at the click of a button whether offline or online.

These are just but a few of the dozens of features telegram supports that other messaging applications don't. Having said that, what are some of the telegram groups and channels you MUST join this year?
