Signal is the same thing but better.
>>52186025
Use LibreSignal
>>52185918
Who cares about a Russian botnet? Might as well be on another planet. They cannot affect me, or anything I do. Spy away.
YES MY FELLOW PATRIOT. USE THE OBVIOUSLY NOT BOT NET MESSENGER OF FREEDOM CALLED NSA-BOTNET-NOT-FREEDOM.APK.

The creators of Telegram have had too many troubles with Russian Federation gov, and thats why Telegram servers are in Singapore, USA and Finland and not in CIS countries. They are based in Germany. I think Russia has no control over Telegram

i still use telegram for big files though
>>52186025
>requires a phone to work
garbage

One may argue that having a smartphone is a botnet in itself, but at least Signal isn't.
So all things considered, it's still the best choice of the bunch.
Short of not messaging anyone ever, that is…

Use libresignal with websockets, it still made by botnet-nsa-Moxiee though.
>>52188561
This.
The nice thing about Telegram is that it runs on both the desktop and your phone.
So you can easily send files and type on a proper keyboard, but also read messages on the go.
Not being part of Facebook/Google/NSA is just a bonus.
>>52190035
>best choice of the bunch
Nope.
There are encrypted messaging apps that don't have retarded requirements to work.
>>52191600
Does it run fully without gapps ? I don't have them installed.

>>52192066
Calling and receving a call is a problem for now, and they are working on it.
>>52192195
I don't care about calls desu. Texting is enough for me.
>>52191601
Telegram still requires a phone to authenticate, though.
I don't know why people recommend either. I mean if it's an internet based messaging, why the fuck should it require a phone?
Telegram is just so handy. Use it on whatever device natively.
i can't ask my friends to use xmpp + otr because i have no friends
>>52191600
Downloaded libresignal. Can't use the app because it still requires Google play services. I'm stuck in the screen that requires me to enter my phone number.
>recommending shitty botnet services like Telegram and Signal that don't even work wihout your phone number and don't have cross platform messaging
>not using Tox, which works on anything, has text, voice and video and doesn't require your personal info
>>52192221
To route traffic I guess
>>52192576
hi zetok :^) what tox version can I use on android?
>>52192610
Antox
>>52192639
Is it stable now? I installed a long time ago and drained terribly my battery
>>52192365
Are you a nigger or something? Read the readme on github. Download the one with websockets, double check its name.
Here let me spoonfeed you:
There is also experimental repository, where you will find only WebSocket-based fork of TextSecure for now (renamed to TextLibre):
https://eutopia.cz/experimental/fdroid/repo
do I have to rebuild telegram if I want to remove read recipients? shit's retarded
>>52192691
Thanks for spoonfeeding. I missed the experimental build.

Vkontakte and Telegram are not related anymore. The first belongs to mail.ru and the second to Durov brothers
>>52194513
>Vkontakte and Telegram are not related anymore
I did not now they were ever related (: I use VK since like forever, never used Telegram though.
>>52185918
On Android for some unknown reason Telegram sometimes uses port 80 and sometimes 443.
Their FAQ says the transport is unencrypted, but this is the kind of shit that drove me from it - why does it do something different and undocumented?
(Obvs HTTPS is better, but the point remains).
>>52191633
Like what ?

Seriously though, stop that meme. Go and hang out IRL.
