> It's one of, if not the, best UX chat message apps with so many features it's sort of mindblowing.
I'd go as far as saying it's by far the best. I have used the word unnerving to describe the fact it's so beyond the rest of the competition, yet free and without a viable business model.
I use Signal with friends and Matrix with other nerds.
I totally agree. And I can't understand why FB - a much wealthier corporation - can't fix numerous problems with its Messenger app. Sometimes the messages don't sync correctly, sometimes voice messages don't play, sometimes images are not loaded in high quality, the search sucks, removing a single message requires 3 taps!, etc. etc. None of these happened in tg for me, and yet, I don't know why more people aren't using it.
Given the open-source nature of tg, I would imagine someone would put together a Messenger client based on tg source code. I guess that would solve many problems with FB's own messenger.
It’s mind blowing how the app has had millions of users and massive development for years and it was all paid for by one billionaire’s personal funds without a plan to make the money back. It’s only being monetised now because it costs too much.
It goes too far for me. Every time I set it up I have to turn the background to white and turn off emojis that take up the entire window and wipe out all context. I actually prefer the simplicity of Signal's apps.
