I really love how telegram is superior to whatsapp in so many ways, personally. The butter smooth and minimalistic interface is just awesome. Of course there are bugs too. iOS 8.3 does not work well with telegram in terms of selecting photos and opening to send/forward via telegram. Responding to telegram alerts via banners and notifications in Notification Center (new incoming message, just or some time ago) does not show the new messages in the specific conversations. Have to swipe back to conversation list and back to the focus.

I have been using it since they started introducing and advertising it. I gather a few of my friends, colleagues and wife we been using it since. I can use it on my work pc, on the go etc and we like it. It has since optimized for ip6 and we r loving it. I don't need alor or all of my contacts to use it. Just my closer ones. the rest we can still stick to other form of chat.

Cheers

Resolved? Really?

Still trying to connect to the server when I launched the app. The funny thing is that incoming messages can appear on the notification locked screen but when try to lauch the app, it couldn't connect to the server to retrieve the messages.

Alright, somebody seems really pissed — the DDoS is now global, affecting Telegram users worldwide.

It's a roller coaster sometimes it's up sometimes it's down

At the time of his posting I can vouch that it was up because I was using it. Now it's down

 

[falseflush]

Yeah, it's been up and down the entire day.

It's currently up for me (at the time of posting).

i think one thing that telegram beats whatsapp hands down legs down is their web usage. Telegram got dedicated messenger (like msn) and its stable where you can access from multiple places at one go
