I don't think so, personally. Everyone on here is going off on how great of a UI experience Telegram is, so I just downloaded it and signed in to my old account. Seems fine. No complaints. But Signal has message reactions and E2E at all times. What are people fawning over Telegram for? I guess a benefit is that Telegram store messages on the server, so if you sign in with a new device you get all your messages, not just the new ones. But that's why I use Matrix now; security of Signal with the UI features of Telegram.
