Can you go into a little more detail about Telegram? I find the whole tech platform very promising, and I have a group chat and a couple private chats going on

  The killer feature for developers is just proper desktop support. Another killer feature for security- and privacy-conscious people is that the clients are open source. People also seem to like the stickers, but they're not my thing. Anyway, people in my vicinity usually get their healthy dose of paranoia through me so sooner or later, they typically end up installing Telegram. It's not perfect, I have a wishlist, but it's a far cry better from Whatsapp privacy-wise and client-wise (and sticker-wise if that's your thing). Sometimes it takes a little pushing and inflicting logic (why should I install technically inferior Whatsapp for you, but you not technically superior Telegram for me?), but most people get around to it. Those who don't, I usually just end up losing contact with -- and so far I have no regrets about losing contact with anyone. > Do you do event invites with it? I'm not entirely sure what you mean with "event" invites, but whenever a group needs making (e.g. for project groups), I create it in Telegram and invite everyone that already has it. Sometimes there are one or two people who still need to install it, sometimes grudgingly, but if they have at least a few friends on it, they usually don't go back to Whatsapp anymore afterwards. (They don't switch exclusively, but they'll use both.)
