I was a user on Telegram from India.

Telegram is not sending text messages because I don’t have a premium account. And many features are locked in premium.

Currently, Telegram doesn’t allow users to create or log in to accounts via third-party apps. Also, I need an official telegram (a must from the Play Store). (Not even the apk from their own website.) To receive a login code.

Do you guys ever feel that telegram has become so much worse?

    One downside is that secret chats are mobile-only. Not supported at all on PCs and laptops, with the official client at least.

      That’s inconvenient, I admit.

      There’s a certain philosophy saying that secret chats not being portable is more secure. That means you’re not exporting the secret keys to multiple devices. I realize signal achieves this by signing the secret chats with multiple keys instead of passing the key around. It does reduce your risk surface.
