mngr9197yI've found a WhatsApp bot for telegram (github) but it says that your WhatsApp account may get banned...
-
zeknoss10627y@coffeeholic In fact I'm quite happy with Telegram, my problem is with my clientele are mostly using Whatsapp.
But I think solution by @mngr is worth a shot. -
mngr9197yI wanted to try it too, but quite all of my friends still uses WhatsApp, and I can't risk the bann
If you try let me know if it works! -
zeknoss10627y@Rohr Aye, I'm using that already but sometimes people wanna send quick photos etc and MMS is still a very expensive option :)
-
zeknoss10627y@Rohr Of course I always prefer e-mail and I'm not quite content with my customers confusing the timezone and message me in the middle of the night. But sometimes realtime comms is a good thing ;)
-
Rohr7307y@zeknoss I totaly agree, but in that case it sounds like a phone call might be better? in therms of 'real time conversation'
for pictures, email and dropping just a quick message SMS
might be a bit 2000 but this functions should be available an nearly every mobilephone out there - no matter what age, brand or os it is (this is what i am thinking about ;) -
zeknoss10627y@Rohr Man, I'm with you on this one :D And hey, I'm the one who removed all Facebook apps from his phone but the clientele, tell this to them please...
-
@coffeeholic <-- what this guy said. I only use telegram for one person (if it wasn't for her I'd drop telegram like my fucking life depended on due to its horrible security/privacy)
I use Signal and Riot :) -
@zeknoss @coffeeholic look at his link and maybe at a blog post I did about telegram: https://much-security.nl (it's on the main page)
-
zeknoss10627y@wolfium @linuxxx ooooorrr throw every electronics to trash bin and go to a cave and decorate it in the most primitive way possible and live there from now on (this sounds weirdly healthier)
-
@wolfium I've got WhatsApp on my work phone as well :). It was a requirement for to get a phone from my current company as I refuse to get WhatsApp on my personal devices.
Fb is a no-go at-all. -
zeknoss10627y@linuxxx btw I moved to a small sea-side town from a huge metropol and been living here happily for two years :) definitely suggest it.
-
@coffeeholic Just a question: Im a bit wary about signal, as it requests ALL of its permissions up-front (in the play store). Is it confirmed to still be secure (as in: it uses them responsible) ?
-
@HeapUnderflow here is an explanation for you:
https://support.signal.org/hc/...-
since the latest updates they support dynamic permissions so you can disable the ones you are concerned about without crashing the app. -
andix2607yWe should convince more people to use Telegram... It's the best app feature and speed wise and i don't get why it's so underrated globally...
-
kaloxy9457yThe user base for WhatsApp is too big ... Unless you are in China. We are pretty much stuck with it. Try Viber ...
-
zeknoss10627yHey everyone, I ended up installing Whatsapp on a spare Android device without a sim card installed. Works great so far.
-
@andix Because although its features are great, it lacks privacy and some forms of security as well. (https://much-security.nl//...) *shamelessly pastes link to own blogpost*

Today the last Facebook Inc application is gone off my phone as I uninstalled Whatsapp finally. But the problem is, many of my customers use Whatsapp for quick comms, what do I do for this? Any suggestions? (I use Telegram but it's not much used around)
