WhatsApp is owned by facebook, the telegram team is not very loyal to the government, Telegram can send huge files. Telegram has end2end encryption disabled by default and it does not work across multiple devices. (How is whatsapp here? does it even have a Desktop Client?)
Your points still stand true though.
- chrisper 9y agoYes. WhatsApp has a desktop client (web.whatsapp.com). End 2 end still works because it goes through your phone. So if your phone is off you can't use the desktop client.
- la_oveja 9y agoThats like remote play, not a desktop client.
- Spivak 9y agoE2E with multiple clients is clunky at best.
- anotheryou 9y agoWhy? should be so easy to just send it once per device.
- Spivak 9y agoThat might work for incoming messages. * How does your history get synced when you send a message? * What if some of your devices are offline? * What if you have two devices that are never online at the same time? * What if a device is offline for a very long time? (No possibility of holding the message on a server for eventual transmission.) * What if there's only one device currently on that receives a message and then is destroyed? Marking a single device as the master and forcing all other clients to proxy through it removes a huge amount of complexity.
- chrisper 9y agoHow is it remote play? It is a full web client.
- la_oveja 9y agoTurn off your phone and lets see how that "full web client" behaves.
