telegram is slightly better than the alternative, such as whatsapp.
only problem is that nobody uses it. so i might as well not use as well. which increases the problem that nobody uses it.
it is really hard to break into the IM market.
- arnvald 11y agoI'd say the opposite - to me IM market seems pretty dynamic, and it's not dominated by one player. I myself use a few different apps: iMessages, Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, Skype, Google Hangouts. Then there's WeChat (huge in China), Line (big in Japan and Korea). I've also met quite a few people using Telegram.
- collyw 11y agoProbably depends on your friends. I bought an Ubuntu phone and its a struggle to get people to switch from Whatsapp to Telegram.
- reitanqild 11y agoI've seen a lot of change recently: One of my two family chat groups (ok, the one shared with the in-laws) recently moved from Whatsapp to Telegram and other secondary groups (Christmas planning etc) have moved along as well. My other group is still on Whatsapp but I guess we'll move that one over as soon as we can get everyone to install Telegram. As much as I loved Whatsapp and have happily not only paid for it but enjoyed paying for it Telegram is so much betterwith replies, hashtags and last but not least a standalone client for PC.
