How can I access Telegram on my desktop?

To access Telegram on a desktop, users can download the official Telegram Desktop application. This application is available for various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. Users can find the download links on the official Telegram website, telegram.org. After downloading and installing the application, users will need to log in with their existing Telegram account. This generally requires entering a phone number that is associated with the account, followed by a verification code sent via SMS or through an existing Telegram session on another device. Additionally, users have the option to access Telegram through a web browser by visiting web.telegram.org, where they can log in using the same phone number. The desktop version offers many features similar to the mobile app, allowing for seamless communication and file sharing.
