The Ultimate 2025 Guide to Telegram Web: From Beginner to Pro

Need to send a quick message but don’t have your phone handy? Telegram Web lets you log in from any browser and stay connected in seconds.

In this guide, you’ll learn the basics of Telegram Web, and then see what’s different between web and desktop. If you’ve ever managed multiple Telegram accounts, or needed stronger tools, you’ll find a new solution here.

What is Telegram Web?

Telegram Web is the official browser version of Telegram. It lets you open your account on any desktop computer without installing extra software. The design is fast and easy to use, giving you access to the most important features right from Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or any modern browser. You can send messages, photos, videos, and files of any type. You can also create groups with up to 200,000 members or broadcast to large channels.

One of Telegram’s biggest strengths is its cloud system. All your messages and media are stored securely online. This means you can start a chat on your phone and continue it on your computer without losing anything. The web version and desktop version includes most of the core features. But some extras—like Secret Chats with end-to-end encryption — are only available on mobile.

Web K vs. Web A: What’s the Real Difference?

When you use Telegram Web, you’ll see two official options: Web K (https://web.telegram.org/k/) and Web A (https://web.telegram.org/a/).

They were likely created by different teams with different goals in mind. Because both were good in their own ways, Telegram decided to keep them both, giving users a choice.

Telegram Web K: The Fast and Stable Workhorse

Think of Web K as the “classic” version of Telegram Web. It focuses on two things: speed and stability. It uses a simple, traditional setup that makes it very light and responsive. This means it works well even on older computers or with slow internet connections.

Key Characteristics:

• Performance First: Web K runs fast. It uses less CPU and memory, so it feels smooth even if you have many tabs open or a weaker device.
• Simple Interface: The design is plain and easy to use. You won’t see many animations. The search bar is a basic white, and menus are direct and practical.
• Feature Lag: Since stability is the top priority, new features come to Web K later than on other versions. You may wait longer for new emoji packs, polls, or group management tools.
• Voice & Video Calls: One big plus is that Web K supports voice and video calls, something that the other version has often lacked.

Choose Web K if: You want the fastest and smoothest experience, you’re on an older computer or slow internet, or you often make calls directly from your browser.

Telegram Web A: The Modern and Feature-Forward Version

Web A (also called Web Z) is the modern, cutting-edge version of Telegram on the web. It’s built with newer web technologies, like React, which make it feel more dynamic and closer to a full mobile app experience.

Key Characteristics and Features:

• First to Get New Features: This is Web A’s biggest advantage. It’s usually the first web client to get Telegram’s latest tools—sometimes even before the desktop app. If you enjoy trying out new stickers, chat tools, or interface updates as soon as they launch, Web A is your best choice.
• Modern Design and Animations: The interface looks polished and feels smooth. Animations appear when you open chats, send messages, or react with emojis. Overall, it feels more like using a modern mobile app.
• Voice and Video Calls: In the past, Web A did not support calls, which gave Web K an edge. Recent updates have fixed this, and Web A now supports full voice and video calling, closing that gap.
• More Resource Intensive: The trade-off for the extra features and animations is that Web A uses more CPU and memory than Web K. On most modern computers, this won’t matter, but on older devices it may feel a bit slower.

Choose Web A if: You want the newest Telegram features, prefer a modern and visually rich design, and have a reasonably up-to-date computer.

Telegram Web vs. Telegram Desktop

Both Telegram Web and Telegram Desktop let you chat on your computer, but they’re designed for different needs. The Web version focuses on quick access and ease of use. The Desktop app is made for more power, extra features, and stronger performance. Which one is right for you depends on what you need.

Let’s look at the features each one offers—and what’s missing.

Looking for a Telegram Web Alternative?

For people who manage many Telegram accounts, a strong and flexible solution is a must. Just opening a bunch of browser tabs won’t work. That’s why many turn to antidetect browsers. These tools create separate browser profiles, each with its own digital fingerprints, so you can run multiple accounts without them being linked.

The problem is that it doesn’t support some features that are only available in the app, like certain bots and games.

If you want full functionality, you need something that works like a real mobile device. In the past, this meant buying and managing dozens of phones—expensive and inconvenient. Today, there’s a better option.

Managing Multiple Telegram Accounts in Cloud Phones

A cloud phone is a smarter way to manage accounts. You don’t have to be limited by Telegram Web’s missing features. You don’t need to keep dozens of physical phones either.

Instead, a cloud phone gives you access to real Android phones that run in the cloud.You can control all of them from your computer, similar to how antidetect browsers work.

Here’s why it’s the good choice for multi-account management:

• Real Android Environment: You can install and use the official Telegram mobile app with no restrictions.
• Unique Hardware Fingerprints: Each cloud phone has its own real device details, such as brand, model, and OS version.
• Integrated Proxy Management: Assign a different proxy to each cloud phone with just a few clicks. Every account gets its own IP address and location, which is key to avoiding bans and network detection.
• Bulk Actions with a Synchronizer: With GeeLark’s synchronizer, any action you take on your main phone—typing a message, joining a channel, clicking a button—happens instantly on all selected phones.
• Built-in Automation Tools: Save time by automating repetitive tasks. Use RPA to build your own workflows to handle larger operations.
• Effortless App Management: Install Telegram (or any app) on all your cloud phones in one click through GeeLark’s App Store.
• Team Collaboration: Share cloud phones with your team safely. You can assign roles and permissions so multiple people can manage accounts together, from anywhere.

How to Manage Telegram Accounts with GeeLark

Step 1: Create a GeeLark Account

First, visit the GeeLark website and sign up for an account. Once registered, download and install the GeeLark application on your computer.

Step 2: Create a New Cloud Phone Profile

Inside the GeeLark dashboard, you’ll create a new “profile”.

• Click the “New Profile” button.
• Give your profile a name (e.g., “Telegram Account 1”).
• You need assign a unique proxy to this profile, ensuring it has its own distinct IP address.
• Then, choose the Android version, network type, and phone brand. For key settings, you can either keep the default or let them match your IP.

Step 3: Install the Telegram App

GeeLark has a built-in App Store where you can add Telegram to your app list. When you launch a cloud phone for the first time, GeeLark installs it automatically. If you open multiple cloud phones at once, all the apps in your list are installed for you.

Step 4: Log In and Manage Your Telegram Account

Next, you can launch multiple cloud phone profiles at once. Once Telegram finishes installing, simply log in to your accounts.

Inside the cloud phone, there are no limits—you can use Telegram freely for crypto games, airdrop tasks, or marketing, just as easily as you would on a regular phone.
