Quite concerning. IIRC Telegram is based in Russia. And Russia has been trying to ban the app. Maybe they just decided to shut down the company itself. It's within the state's power anyway.
Damn :/ I have come to love Telegram. Its mobile client is impeccable, which is all the more impressive after you look at its open source code.. Web and native osX clients are just as great (the OsX client is even a great example of a native app done well). And sadly, not being owned by FAAMG is a big plus nowadays. If the worst happens and Telegram is definitively down, what do you suggest I use to replace it ?
Let the speculation about Russian involvement begin!

Same here, the app has way better features than WhatsApp, which of course is the obvious alternative. Signal is supposedly very good and has a desktop app to match, but no Windows Phone client makes it a deal breaker for me
I use it of course and as far as the clients go, they are ok.
I trust its owners less and less with each passing day though.

I purposefully did not name WhatsApp. I use it of course and as far as the clients go, they are ok. I trust its owners less and less with each passing day though.

Likewise. I detest the organisation and everything they stand for. And yet, i have to use it, because lots of my didn't family are on WhatsApp and not on telegram
They were the last of my groups to migrate.
Time for a Blockchain version.
