Do not use Telegram, use Simplex instead✌
simplex is a relatively new chat app but it's evolving pretty fast, i suggest it too, but it has several bug and missing feature that need to be fixed and added in order to make it like a standard chat application
the call will close if you go back to the chat (they should fix that in the next version)
it does not ring while you call
it can only be synced to a one desktop via the wifi
it has only local notification system (due to security reasons)
the calls are pretty susceptible to the line stability
but seems the only real secure chat app out there, you can check out the roadmap in the description of GitHub
https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat
I've never gotten a successful call so count yourself lucky. Honestly Simplex chat is to centralized but for now its a stable alternative to signal.
it's not centralized, you can choose your smp, xftp and webrtc ice servers, or you can install them in your own server
so is a decentralized chat application
so far i was able to do calls and videocalls to everyone (i have 8 friends there), but i won't say that the calls are stable, the application needs time to stabilize, and that's what they are doing, you can check the the GitHub page or chat with the developer if you want to know more
Why are you down voting xiao ? Am i missing something ?
I have used SimpleX Chat for a few months and the following made me switch to XMPP:
Simplex chat is good for group chats. The battery life is fine as long as you switch it to periodically check for incoming messages. Calls will break but they are already completely unstable so its not a big deal.
Just out of curiously, what do you use instead?
True regarding the battery life. I did find the calls to be working really well.
My replacement? I installed Snikket on my server. And if the calls doesn't work (haven't tried it yet), I might use MiroTalk for that.
Did not vote anything yet, just noticed you replied to my message 👍
No i was asking why are they down voting you
I do not know, actually I do not care about down votes 😅
