Hi,
Telegram App users! Since Telegram decided to charge on us, and we love the features but we still stand for FREE version like what whatsapp did.

So, what's the Alternative App to replace Telegram (just in case they really started to turn it to Paid App)?

WhatsApp
Signal App
But those do not store messages in the cloud like Telegram
If you are chatting in encrypted connection, might as well should not use Telegram

Not sure Telegram compatible apps like Plus Messenger got affected or not

They are going to monetize by charging public announcement channels, and paid premium stickers. You can still use the app for free.

"He has said that the current features that are free will still stay the same. Telegram will add several features for business teams or power users and they will require more resources and will be paid by these premium users."

no la those larger public channels will have ads, personal or group chats no ads.

and for sticker if my favourite artist or TV show make stickers, I might consider to buy their sticker to support them.

it's a model that other companies have used. we'll see how Telegram implements it.
