I’m from Mexico, and the most used chat application is WhatsApp. It’s used for EVERYTHING. I use Telegram only for contacting my family members (both my parents and my brother). They also use it only for this family chat. All my (and their) contacts use WhatsApp instead.

Now with the news that Telegram will collaborate with Twitter, I feel that I should delete it. Not that Zuck is any better than Musk, but still…

Also I don’t think it’s worth the effort to teach my parents yet another messaging app, like signal.

      They’ve been adding AI chatbot integrations into the browser lately.

        Ah yes. Very much a feature “no one” asked for, I imagine. At least not I.

        But luckily, I’ve been largely unaffected by that addition. It’s been easy to ignore so far.
