Telegram is introducing voice calls to its messaging app, offering audio calling that uses artificial intelligence to increase quality on an ongoing basis, as well as end-to-end encryption for security.
According to TechCrunch, Telegram was founded by Pavel Durov, a Russian entrepreneur who was the founder of VKontakte, Russia’s Facebook. He was ousted from that company in 2014 and has since worked on developing Telegram, which has 100 million monthly users and 350,000 new users joining per day.
