Telegram

I am having constant connection issues. I reached out to support about 3 months ago with no response and no change in the issues. Reinstalling the app does nothing to fix it. Inconsistent notifications, constant "Connecting..." messages on the tops of conversations resulting in me closing the app 2 - 3 times to try to force-connect... used to be my go-to, now it can't text consistently. Having a conversation is impossible with this app.

I can’t log into the app without buying a weekly premium subscription. My account is many years old, but after being logged out, the app now requires premium just to send an SMS verification code. There’s no option to verify via email or other logged-in devices. This effectively blocks access to existing users and feels like forcing payment to use the app. Very disappointing.

pretty good especially it's ability to send larger files and videos and such. I just wish that the browser where you ngo in to look for your pictures and what not , would navigate further to be able to more easily find and use pictures from other places. And also they need to make your selections compile before adding them to the chat so that you don't have to keep going back and forth through the whole reel of pictures when you're tryin to select several things from somewhere like the acloud

Very unsafe and disappointing app. There are too many bots, and privacy does not feel secure at all. In some cases, even phone numbers are being exposed through bots. Also, only premium users can post stories. A recent update allowed everyone to post stories, but the feature was removed again. This is unfair and frustrating. I have deleted my account and uninstalled the app.😡😡🤬🤬

I wish I could give it 4 or 5 stars but there are a few blaring issues that have caused me quite some grief. The first and most being that in group chats, if you join the chat after everyone else, it isn't possible to see the previous messages unless a setting (which is by default, turned off) gets turned in. Only messages from that point on are shown as well. I accidentally got kicked from a group where we look back at old messages (DnD chat). There's no fix to this either. I cried for an hour.
