Yes I wish people would start using it. I am more or less locked into Whatsapp because many of my friends won't change. Its annoying siting at the computer, a Whatsapp message comes in and you need to switch to the shitty tocuhscreen keyboard then back again. I can reply to a telegram message from the computer and use a proper keyboard. The context switch seems far less interrupting to me as a result.
- Al-Khwarizmi 9y agoThis. I absolutely hate that. By the way, there is Whatsapp Web where you can type with your keyboard. But it's clunky (somewhat less clunky with the Opera integration, if you use Opera), fickle and still requires you to have your phone on and with enough battery in the same wifi as the computer, which isn't always trivial.
- Liquid_Fire 9y agoJust a small correction: it doesn't need to be on the same network as the computer.
- Al-Khwarizmi 9y agoThanks, I thought it did.
- spery 9y agoI was in the same boat, but I decided to just make a jump. I've managed to persuade few closest friends to just try it out (half of them also ditched whatsapp altogether. With rest I just communicate via SMS. While I do lack groups, I've found out I'm not missing out much.
