I was a user on Telegram from India.

Telegram is not sending text messages because I don’t have a premium account. And many features are locked in premium.

Currently, Telegram doesn’t allow users to create or log in to accounts via third-party apps. Also, I need an official telegram (a must from the Play Store). (Not even the apk from their own website.) To receive a login code.

Do you guys ever feel that telegram has become so much worse?

    I’ve never used Telegram until recently. I keep receiving spam on it all the time.

      Weird. I never get spam on telegram. How are people adding you? Are you discoverable? Are you letting people add you by phone number?

        I’ll have to check

        Edit: everything is set so only my contacts can contact me. But I still get random messages.

              Well that’s the thing about spammers, they’ll just try to connect to every phone number… when they find a match, they can put that in a list, and sell it to other people

      Spam from Telegram? Or from random users? You might need to change the configurations so no one can message you without your phone number maybe.

        From random users. Maybe. I’m not to familiar with Telegram and honestly I don’t know a lot of people on that platform so I barely ever use it except to block users lol
