Telegram is one of the world's most popular messaging apps. It's one of the top five most downloaded apps, with over one billion active users. It's free, cross-platform, and synced across all your devices -- phones, tablets, and computers.
Mainly for the bots. Telegram bots are automated accounts that you can interact with. CheckOnMeBot provides a seamless integrated experience, all within the Telegram app. You'll get your daily ping at your designated time and be notified by your device. Then you can check in right from within the chat by clicking on the Check In button.
In addition to checking in, you can also see your status, pause and resume the service, get a test ping and more. It's really a much better experience than email.
Also, Telegram is just plain fun. It has tons of cute animated emojis, gifs, and stickers with which you can spice up your chats. And with its many built-in themes, you can make it look just the way you want. It's just a fun way to communicate.
Sadly yes. Telegram doesn't allow you to prevent strangers from sending you a message -- unless you pay for premium, that is. You will get a few of these each month, almost always from a scammer. Fortunately, they are easy to manage. When you get one, don't reply. Just delete the chat. No need to block the user because he probably won't send you a second message and the account will be deleted in a month or so anyway.
Another thing that puts people off is that when you install Telegram, it will ask for permission to access your contacts. If this bothers you, just say no. It's not required.
Telegram is a great messaging app with fun features and useful bots. It has some minor annoyances that in our opinion are worth dealing with in order to get the best CheckOnMe experience.
