Using telegram for years. Its the best messenger.
Don't have any troubles. I can use e2e-chats if needed.
I truely trust them. Besides, their Android client has the best Android source code I have ever seen. Very good resource.

  Putting the ability to block or restrict receiving something behind a paid subscription is batshit crazy. That is an extremely shitty thing to do and will just result in people not using the service entirely as soon as they try to block something like spam or harassing messages. Just because you don't run into any problems with how you use it, that doesn't mean there aren't issues people run into daily.
  
  I'm always wary of those who support enshittifying decisions like these. There's almost always an agenda, or an astounding level of ignorance.
  
  I can block user without problems. Plus I can decide for each one my own privacy settings.
  I don't see it. There isn't even any option to buy premium. And I just updated...
  
  🌟 Restrict Voice Messages
  Premium subscribers can control who is able to send them voice and video messages.

  I'm not going to put any more effort into this conversation for a service that I will never use clearly charging a premium for basic privacy/safety settings like controlling who can send them certain types of messages.
  
  Thanks I see. Didn't know other messengers allow that by default. You are right that I am unaffected.
