In a fresh challenge to WhatsApp, Telegram is also about to launch group video calling. The communications app is to bring out the new feature in May, offering a further incentive to attract new users to its platform.

On April 28, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov announced the news. The most downloaded application in January 2021 has continued to innovate and will be adding a group video conferencing feature next month.
