Telegram is known as a privacy-focused secure messaging app because it markets itself that way. However, it is often criticized by security experts, privacy advocates, and people with common sense who can understand why its claims about being privacy-friendly don't make sense. In this brief article, I'll show you all
Signal
Yeah, the glaring problem of having to share your phone number is gone too:

They still don’t have backups on iOS which is a deal-breaker for me.
I couldnt find a working Ubuntu touch app last i tried to use it
After Signal’s lie about dropping SMS support because of “engineering costs”, I really can’t believe anything else they say.
Plus the app experience sucks, it’s no better than SMS.
Wasn’t another explanation people mistakenly sending SMS and getting fucked when they meant to send a Signal message?
That’s not true, but even so, the whole point is to be an alternative to SMS. It provides that experience, so I’m happy.
Are you talking about the signal from five years ago or something?
