Nicegram is an independent, unofficial client for Telegram, built for iPhone and iPad. Use several Telegram accounts in one messenger, get more done with AI, and read every chat in your language. Multiple accounts, one messenger Add several Telegram accounts and switch between them in a tap, without logging out or carrying a second phone. Keep personal and work chats apart and never miss a message on any account. AI for productivity Ask the AI assistant a question, get a short summary of a long chat, improve the wording of a message before you send it or let AI draft a reply for you. Browse the AI Agent Marketplace to find assistants for writing, learning, research and code. Translator built into your chats Translate incoming messages as you read and your own text before you send it, so you can talk to anyone in their language. Turn voice messages into text when you can't listen. Record calls Record supported Telegram calls and keep the recording for your notes. Get the consent of the other participants where the law requires it. Advanced messaging tools - Quick replies: send saved answers in a tap - Forward as copy: share content without the original sender's name - Private reply: answer someone from a group chat in a private chat - Double bottom: keep selected chats behind a separate passcode - Round video messages from any clip already in your gallery - Offline access to the photos and videos you've downloaded Built on Telegram, extended by Nicegram Nicegram is not Telegram and is not made or endorsed by Telegram. It is an independent client built on the open Telegram platform, with extra tools of its own. Some features, such as AI tools, the translator and voice to text, need Nicegram Premium, available by subscription or in-app purchase. Some AI features are in beta and may not be available on every account.

You don't need another app where you scroll past strangers. You need one where every post is from someone you actually care about. Closely is a private photo-sharing app for your real friends. No followers, no algorithms, no "suggested for you" from someone you met once at a party. Just the people you'd trust with your phone unlocked. HOW TO GET IN There's no sign-up page. A friend scans you in with a QR code. That's it. If nobody's invited you yet, you probably need better friends. (Kidding. Mostly.) WHAT YOU CAN DO - Post photos your friends will actually see (not 3% of them) - Share multi-image posts for when one pic doesn't tell the whole story - Like and comment knowing it's real people, not bots - Keep your feed chronological — no algorithm playing favorites WHAT YOU WON'T FIND - Ads - Influencers - A discover page - That guy from high school you don't remember adding Closely is for the group chat that deserves a feed. Your circle, your rules.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Closely at none against Nicegram's 7. Nicegram's advantage is chart position (#52 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
