I was a user on Telegram from India.

Telegram is not sending text messages because I don’t have a premium account. And many features are locked in premium.

Currently, Telegram doesn’t allow users to create or log in to accounts via third-party apps. Also, I need an official telegram (a must from the Play Store). (Not even the apk from their own website.) To receive a login code.

Do you guys ever feel that telegram has become so much worse?

    I’ve never used Telegram until recently. I keep receiving spam on it all the time.

      Weird. I never get spam on telegram. How are people adding you? Are you discoverable? Are you letting people add you by phone number?

        I’ll have to check

        Edit: everything is set so only my contacts can contact me. But I still get random messages.

              Well that’s the thing about spammers, they’ll just try to connect to every phone number… when they find a match, they can put that in a list, and sell it to other people

        From random users. Maybe. I’m not to familiar with Telegram and honestly I don’t know a lot of people on that platform so I barely ever use it except to block users lol
