If iMessage is a joke, why not just use Telegram and find happiness? If I felt the same way (and I don't) about iMessage that's what I'd be doing.

The issue is converting family and friends over to Telegram. I strictly use Telegram with my gf but the rest of my friends and family use iMessage. I much prefer Telegram, for privacy and features (although iMessage is decent for privacy).

And I have the one annoying friend that refuses to use anything but Messenger even though he uses iPhones…

Oh joy, this will be a great tool for all the radical conspiracy theorist personalities that use Telegram to spread disinformation.

People having unfettered conversations without Karen looking over their shoulder and fact-checking! This is not okay

What is a "bumper update"?

Is that similar to when Apple gave free bumper cases to iPhone 4 owners?

I do not consider Telegram as social media. I use it primarily as communicator (like text messages and calls) as it is free in cases when my friends are abroad. Social media I hate and do not use them (e.g. Facebook).

That's a fair point. I think it's also accurate to note it has some social features beyond simple messaging.

I tried to move Telegram, but almost everyone, including me, had at least one person in their circle who would not leave WhatsApp. So everyone had to stay in WA and many of us thought that as everyone will still be in WA what would be the point of yet another messaging app.

I do use iMessage with family and some friends. Messenger is dead to me cause I don’t use Facebook.

Telegram is the best.
Use it on the Apple phones, Android, Linux desktop, Windows, macOS. Works well. (I haven't tried video calls to can't comment on that).
Use it also to transfer files to different devices.

Vodka?

Not even. Vodka is Polish, not Russian

How do you transfer files to different devices? Do you have different phone numbers on different devices? Curious..

Too bad I am in Germany. Here it takes 2 months advance notice to schedule / align for a video call with your friends ?

?? I can relate

And Anna Kournikova

Aren’t you that “annoying” friend and family member who has decided to use Telegram instead of iMessage? ?

 

[incoherent_1]

I just wish some Apple exec installs Telegram and sees how the messaging app should function in 2021. iMessage is a joke compared to it. And it is not related to its video capabilities.

This x1000. Seriously, even Apple’s “major update” last year fell pitifully short of the functionality Telegram has had for years.

Strongly disagree! Let’s not forget the other things you’ve given the world: Kvas, Ruski Standard vodka, and the best ballet dancers among the list ?

And Anna Kournikova

yea... her. but we've got a lot of beauties)

100% agree. I find Telegram much easier than AirDrop for transferring files, and for messaging it's so much faster and intuitive than iMessage (which feels bloated, slow and just an overall UI nightmare). In terms of usability, I think iChat was vastly superior than Messages but somehow Apple managed to destroy it.

Kvas is seriously under-appreciated in the west!
