Thankfully, because Telegram seems unable to stop adding bloatware. Their service was complete years ago.

  This is my issue as well. Telegram in 2019 was perfect. None of the features added since then have been that great.

    In 2019, the official Telegram client didn't have chat folders so I was using a Telegram client made by an Iranian dude (Telegram was extremely popular in Iran and Iranian clients were the most feature-rich).

  Switch over to Signal, the bloat velocity is much much lower :)

    Yes, and I will talk to myself. Not to mention the app is a buggy mess. At least on iphone.

      >Not to mention the app is a buggy mess. At least on iphone. If you think it's buggy on iPhone you have no idea what's going on on Android. The iOS venison is actaully the "polished " one as Signal devs daily drive iPhones.

        I have used it on Android for years and on iOS since 2 months or so ago and I haven't encountered any bugs as far as I can tell. What am I missing?

          Have someone call you on Signal. Missed calls galore. Also texts. It just dozez all the time (despite having been configured in Android to not let it sleep) and texts come late and calls get missed.

            It doesn't "doze all the time" here, seems like you're blaming Signal when it's your phone's power management software not working as described. The only people I know that have this kind of issue with Signal are all on Huawei phones, we've configured them and it's worked for a while but Huawei only seem to care about letting Facebook/Whatsapp/Teitter/etc.. run properly.

              I have this problem on different Samsung phones. And I only ever had it with Signal, no other messenger.

                I guess you already tried all this: https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360028198711-Phone-Specific-Troubleshooting#samsung https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360028198711-Ph... and assume you mean you've tried other somewhat-niche messengers, not just the major ones that get special treatment.
                • hutzlibu 3y ago
                  A bit of it. But it is besides the point: A messenger, that is working reliable and intentionally designed for the masses - does not come with the need, to fiddle with configs, to get basic functionality working. I do not like Meta, but I never experienced with whatsapp, that someone send a message and this message just vanishes, so the sender thinks he is getting ignored. But exactly this happened way too often with signal.

    Signal doesn't have a proper backup/migration mechanism yet when adding new devices.... Whatsapp is more complete. Idk, maybe Element too but haven't used it recently
    • barbazoo 3y ago
      It does have a migration procedure for Android->Android.
      • Moldoteck 3y ago
        Yeah, what about android->desktop?
