TodayAugust 23rd, Telegram celebrates its 10th birthday – with our biggest update yet. Over the past decade we’ve built hundreds of new features that are now used by over 800 million people. In this update, we launch Stories – with a unique dual camera mode, granular privacy settings, flexible duration options and much more
Really dislike that we can’t disable stories (AFAIK). Thank goodness for Beeper.
That’s an advantage of having an open source client. Stuff like Forkgram or Nekogram on Fdroid could remove stories (if they were ever added in the first place, I haven’t tested)
Last I checked, they didn’t support separate chat topics.
What’s the point of another app at this stage? Moving people is hard.
Beeper lets me connect to multiple services in one app (e.g., Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, FB Messenger, iMessage).
There’s no moving at all. it’s just a bridge to use multiple messaging services in a single app. Everyone else you talk to stays on which ever app they want.
You have to trust the service with your data though. Some services won’t be E2EE anymore. But their bridges are opensource so, you can self host them if you want
too bad I can’t use that app since it’s invite only
They have a waitlist, but I can invite you if you’d like.
Hi, if it’s still possible I would like to get an invite too
