Performance is decent enough, but it could be better. It looks and functions pretty much the same way as the messaging app while improving upon some key features. Overall, Unigram is a good open-source alternative to the official Telegram desktop client. One area where the client still needs work on is its performance, which can be sluggish at times, Another is there's no system tray shortcut for quick access and better notification display. However, there is one feature that makes this stand out from the official app, and that is its support for end-to-end encryption for chats, as well as providing the option for setting a self-destruct timer for messages.

While these features are lacking in the unofficial app, it makes up for it by letting users cast videos to other devices or open them with any third-party media player of their choice. The built-in video player is quite good, with various playback controls and a full-screen mode. It has 10 emoji sets to choose from compared to the original's four.

This software is just as feature-rich as the official client while building upon some of its features. It also supports multiple accounts so you add and manage them as you see fit. You have various login methods available to you: you can use your phone number, or alternatively, you can scan the QR code that will be displayed on your screen-and the Telegram app will be needed for this. If you have used the official Telegram client before, Unigram will feel very familiar to you as its design is nearly identical to it.
