> so basically "you can get spam from unknown contacts unless you pay us for the feature". This did not cross my mind until you wrote it, but I would not be surprised the slightest if it went like this. AI spambots + direct access to people's message apps is not a future I'm looking forward to. The moment that happens and Telegram gives me a hint that with paid subscription I can avoid the spam, I am out of there. > They're singing "I won't install another app on my on my phone" I used to have an old as hell smart phone with limited memory, so I sympathise with this somewhat. Still, changing apps is a small price to pay if things start looking bad with Telegram.
