What MAX is
National messenger. MAX is a messenger with official apps and a web version. Check the features you need and available sign-in methods on the MAX website and in the specific client you're using.
Integration with government services. If an organization offers interaction through MAX, confirm the official address and the available flow directly with that organization. A feature existing in the mobile app doesn't mean it's available in the web version.
A complement, not a replacement. For most people, MAX doesn't replace the Telegram and WhatsApp they already use — it runs alongside them, for the specific tasks tied to it.
How to combine MAX with other messengers
Add MAX as one more tab. In Centrio, MAX connects the same way as any other messenger — through the add-service catalog or a direct link to its web version, with no need to reinstall or replace your other apps.
Keep access to your old chats. Telegram and WhatsApp keep working in neighboring tabs — switching to MAX for specific tasks doesn't require giving up your conversation history in other messengers.
One shared notification list. Messages from MAX land in the same unread badge as your other connected services — no need to separately check whether something important arrived there.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to install MAX?
Requirements depend on the context — for example, interacting with specific government or education services. For personal messaging, which app to use is still up to you.
Can I use MAX from a computer, not just a phone?
Yes, MAX has a web version you can open in a browser, or as a separate tab inside a messenger aggregator like Centrio.
Do my contacts and chats transfer automatically when I add MAX?
No, each messenger keeps its own conversations independently — adding MAX doesn't transfer or duplicate history from Telegram or WhatsApp. It's a separate service with its own address book.
Can I keep MAX, Telegram and WhatsApp open at the same time?
Yes, in a messenger aggregator all three services open as separate, isolated tabs at once, with no need to switch between different apps or browser windows.
