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)_/¯

        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
