It was a many months transition, and it’s finally done

Fun thing, you can actually make a backup of all* your messages, groups, contacts, etc. So before leaving you can have all of your data in case you need that one contact or something

The final red flag was as that allegedly Russian authorities were messing with people’s deleted messages. Not for the first time there are news that they could read, modify, delete, see location, and etc. Screw it, this is unsafe, I’m out.

Also, these days telegram is really at the state of a pile of garbage, bloated, buggy, and shady messenger.

    Is it even possible to get a telegram account these days? I heard their SMS service was down or something making it impossible to sign up and they don’t support email.

      Stop it with the creative commons link in your comments.

      Also, there is nothing wrong with Telegram logins or new accounts.

          I get notifications of new contacts that join Telegram so it does. I don’t need to try it myself.

          And I don’t understand your cc link and your down votes speak for themselves so stop the silliness.

            Do you fear what you don’t understand? “I don’t understand it, so stop”.

            And I don’t care about downvotes. Go on, downvote. It has no real life effect.
