I tried this out in 2013, back then it was difficult to set up on non technical friend’s computers. From what I see now, VoIP, and video calls are modern additions. For a non technical user, I still think that the marketing is not compelling. Friends and group stuff, “we have Facebook for that”.

> I tried this out in 2013, back then it was difficult to set up on non technical friend’s computers. Same. I actually walked my mother on how to install on Linux box via sms in a pinch. I wouldn't recommend it. The VoIP was choppy at times and had a lag if you had less than 10mb down rates, which I often did as I was limited to 3g wifi back then. So I used it mainly as a text based system. Signal is the best alternative to this, VoIP calls are really clear and wprk well once set up and synced. I can't recommend Telegram for anything private anymore and I just use it for group chat stuff.
