This isn't completely accurate.
This client and all other 3rd party clients use tdlib, which is Telegram's open source client library to their servers. tdlib's development is notoriously behind compared to the client library used by their 1st party apps (which isn't tdlib). A good chunk of Telegram's modern features (voice chats, voice calling, chat reactions) aren't available on tdlib.
- anthk 5y agoThis. Compared to XMPP, Telegram is nothing. I say this as a TG user under Bitlbee-libpurple.
- tazjin 5y agoWell, compared to the quality of Telegram clients, XMPP is nothing. This is a matter of perspective. Personally, emoji reactions aren't a big enough draw for me to switch to or from any platform.

- Klonoar 5y agoAre you sure? The native Cocoa client seems to never lack feature-parity - and in fact is one of the clients to actually support encrypted messaging. Or is that specific client just a unique case of the devs going above and beyond?
