I really respect iMessage and some comments, but let's educate some followers. In Europe and Middle East, most of the people uses WhatsApp, not FB Messenger, not iMessage. Most of Apple owners even don't know iMessage and its features well. After Telegram, I honestly can't say that it is same with Whatsapp or iMessage. Telegram has so many features that should be exampled by Facebook and Apple. They had stickers when iMessage/WhatsApp has not, and now when they finally decided to put, Telegram decided to make 60 fps smooth animated stickers, which they don't have or even don't plan to do it. The only thing Telegram doesn't provide is Video Calling and I don't use it anywhere besides FaceTime, so I don't mind it.

And Telegram does this with Open Source where others may not even publish their codes. I love Telegram but most of the people uses WhatsApp in these regions.

Of course China is using WeChat, I know, I didn't see anyone here that uses WeChat, so I have no idea.

And balkans like Chechia and Serbia tend to use Viber more than WhatsApp in my travels.
If only telegram had good security
 
It’s been a long time coming for a whole new makeover of the design, especially. Plz make that happen 🙏🏻
 
the iMessege Vs Whatsapp war is pretty clear, iMessege is mostly used by USA users where iOS market is predominant. Thats a pretty huge market!

Europe is on Whatsapp and other places varies, as China is almost only Wechat.

That’s why outside USA iMessege news dont care to so many retractors in this forum.
I’m european but like when Apple catch up other services. So to me is good news (though I can’t understand why USA users prefer ecosystem over function, as iMessege has less features or Use to get them later...)
 
Then don’t use that, and use the encrypted chat.
I’m good I’d rather use an app that end to end encrypts everything by default and actually cares about security not just in marketing which is the only thing telegram seems to be good at
