In view of the crucial role that Telegram plays in effective instructional content delivery, if and when well implemented, this paper takes into consideration a general overview of Telegram Application, outlines the features, benefits accruable to using Telegram for instruction, and also the advantages and disadvantages associated with using Telegram for instructional content delivery in post COVID-19 era.
