Telegram is just actually superior in terms of features I don’t get it.

    Telegram let’s you send 2gb files, and stores them forever. Signal has a 100mb limit.

    It also used to be easier to set up on multiple devices at the same time, but I believe that Whatsapp and Signal have improved that by now too.

      I’m not sure the file limitations are much of a factor when 100mb covers most files that would need to be sent through a messaging service. There are plenty of dedicated services for sharing larger files.

        I mentioned it because it was an annoying limitation for me. 100mb is not a lot for media and zip files nowadays. And I don’t know any good free services that will work more conveniently than simply sending with Telegram, suggestions welcome.

          https://toffeeshare.com/ is what I usually use for big files. But both sender and receiver need to be online for the whole transfer. It doesn’t store anything you send on their servers, but that’s a feature for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Piracy tho. I can go to my telegram, search a movie title and click play and it just works.

        That’s the point tho, it negates the need for dedicated services for sharing larger files

            1. It’s encrypted, just not E2E encrypted

            2. A lot of the time the files i’m sending are game clips or parts of Youtube videos. i want good quality above privacy
