    Yes, I know - it was a joke.

    But I had thought that Telegram (the messenger service) was run by the black hats from the dark web. And as such, it was not that popular and very heavily scrutinised (if that is possible).

    Its widely used I think because of its privacy. I find it useful for different discussion boards and for private messaging.

    I'm pretty sure it's when you tell your grandma and word spreads by way of her knitting circle...

    It's a messenger, but also much more than that due to API. See for example core.telegram.org/bots

    I confess using Telegram. A gaming group I'm in has been using it since 2015 or so. It's been pretty convenient for that, haven't really checked other kind of communities though.

    I use it purely as a messenger service with a group of friends - it works well and is a lot more flexible than WhatsApp as it has a variety of clients for different platforms including iPad, Mac and PC.

    There’s nothing sinister or β€œdark hat” about it, aside from the fact that like anything with strong security and privacy it’s used by some bad guys as well as the good.

    With respect…

    A phone number is one of the kinds of information that should never be posted online.

    Is it safe to use Telegram with phone number?

    Make Your Contact Information Private

    Users sign up for Telegram using their phone numbers, which are visible to everyone by default. It means other people in groups or with access to your Telegram account can see your phone number. A phone number is one of the kinds of information that should never be posted online.
