Am I the only one who thinks telegram messenger is much better than others like whatsapp and Skype.

Me and my team actually started using discord lately. Its far better than skype, its lightweight because its for gamers, ui is similar to slack. Only thing that takes getting used to is admin panel and permissions which are role based.

Telegram is great!
especially the Desktop-Version.
You can fit it to any needs of your groups by inviting bots or using stickers.
Also fast file transactions optionally without loss of image-quality.

I'm forced to use whatsapp for group chats.

telegram is far more better in fact its marvellous....
and that is the power of open source

@h3ra ++ for discord. my friends and I use it for gaming and general conversation, but it also fits a work environment. way better than Skype, teamspeak, slack..

I use telegram next to Signal. ditched whatsapp more than a year ago. People try to get me to use whatsapp again but no thanks to corporate closed source im software.

@Pythoneer Haha I also forced my games and team members to use it. In the end they realize it's actually better than whatsapp

You're not the only one. As soon as whatsapp was bought out by fb I looked for another choice and I ran into telegram. Made sure to bring all my close friends and family, love the stickers!

I feel the same way.
