I think it wasn't left alone at all.

It was turned upside down.

The old main feature: pay-a-reasonable-fee-to-chat-privately was taken behind the barn and shot dead.

I and my friends have now moved almost every group I was a member of over to Telegram (there is one left). And yes I know Whatsapp might have stronger encryption but for us that doesn't matter.



TG is my messenger of choice as well and I am really more happy with it in every aspect, sans the encryption. I sincerely wish they would do something to get that up to current standards. I'd pay to use that, too.
