I made telegram and i wanted to be sure Its safe and usable for chatting. Id like to give It between the contacts but idk since It has my phone Number and i put the @ in my profile. In the setting my Number Is hidden to others but idk ik not sure if i should use It or Just keep It for some groups.

What do you think?

I hope I didn't disturb

It's very robust and has better open source clients than, say, Discord, which is hot garbage

Arent alternative clients disallowed by their TOS?

Maybe? Doesn't make much of a difference. It's the best of the blobs

You mean i cannot follow Tos and I won't get brutally mauled?

As far as I know the only issue is that you need to keep getting the code from the original telegram client because they won't validate your account the via phone or email.

Yeah, I use telegram app but what other clients are there?
