If you are using Telegram and are a group administrator, you can delete a message from a member of the group which deletes it for everyone.There doesn’t seem to be a way to mute all groups in one action, but you can mute notifications from groups on a group by group basis.Within the group, clicking on Mentions, then you can select from Always notify or don’t notify to get the kind of smart notifications you are looking for As with Telegram, you can mute a group, but manage notifications when you are mentioned.I can see that 1,000 might not be enough for a large organisation, but 200,000 is WAY too many people for a group, at least IMHO Honestly, I feel like we are going from one extreme to another. Telegram allows for up to 200,000 members in a group, with Signal allowing for 1,000.


If you want to send messages from your laptop/desktop computer, you can do that too.You can message individuals that are in the contacts list on your phone.It’s intuitive, and if you have used WhatsApp or Telegram, you will need no time to really get used to Signal.Ok, so first, what is the same between Telegram and Signal? My god, this is awful! Looking at that list, Signal fairs the best in terms of the data shared, because it’s absolutely nothing. This one is a good one, and also includes Facebook Messenger. Finally, I’ve got a comparison table of Telegram, WhatsApp and Signal at the bottom of this article.įirst things first, I’ve had a few articles shared with me that cover what data is collected by each app. I’m not stating one is better than the other, but in fairness, I thought it would be good to do an overview of the features in Signal.

This article has already gathered more attention than I first thought it would, but with many citing Signal as their app of choice. I wrote about some changes coming in WhatsApp, and what pushed me to start looking around for alternative messaging services and settling on Telegram.
