I have used telegram in the past and while I dont use it due to privacy concerns, it does have some advantages and convenience features to it:

  • the integration with bots allows for quite interesting applications such as interactive elements like voting or other automated behaviors
  • it's really fast as you never download anything as it's all in the cloud
  • because it's all in the cloud you can access your chats from any device, even new, without downloading or backing up your conversations
