My wife and a few family members use telegram, it’s perfectly fine for using as just a regular chat app, you can join spam or sketchy groups but if you don’t join premium or enable contact access, and generally be smart about using it, etc you will be fine.

My entire extended family only has iPhones and my wife and I are the only ones with android, gotten a lot of them on telegram to be able to have large group chats working well for everyone to have a good experience.

Some cars don’t just rely on maps and attempt to scan speed limit signs on the side of the road but doesn’t always see the sign or update accurately.

I also just tested on windows with Strict privacy set and the 3 addons mentioned and I got my browser has “strong protection against web tracking” and unique fingerprint output.

Not trying to say you’re wrong or anything just playing devils advocate and sharing what I’m seeing.

I was curious and got that same fingerprint result on Firefox for android set to strict with privacy possum, ublock origin and ghostery addons.
