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?

    Did they say that on the UI? Or why do you think that? I don’t think that’s the cause.

    And many features are locked in premium.

    Sure, there are a few new features that were only added for premium users, but I don’t know about any that was available to everyone and then became premium only. Or am I wrong?

    Well, about that. While I don’t think the above concerns are valid, in the last few years telegram has did things and durov made such announcements that are at least weird, but actually concerning, and don’t make me trust them more with their motives.

    Right now I’m waiting for Element’s technical upgrade of Matrix.
