Given the credibility attributed to Signal - f.x. by Bruce Schneier and Edward Snowden - I don't understand why it's not more popular than Telegram.
I want something to replace Hangouts, WhatsApp and Messenger and Telegram fits the bill while it looks to me like Signal doesn't. My Telegram account can be synced on multiple PCs and devices, while Signal seems to be phone only.
It looks a bit fishy as it reads like an actual code as opposed to one outputted from a decompiler.
WhatsApp is not linkifying Telegram URLs, but Telegram is not even sending messages that are shared from WhatsApp. Telegram is open source, so you can see for yourself here. https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/blob/74def22213846b1f90a26... On line 666: if (sendingText.contains("WhatsApp")) { //who needs this sent from ...? sendingText = null; }
I guess this code is only used when sharing something from WhatsApp to Telegram. If you share a picture for example, it removes the "Sent from Whatsapp" advertisment message. Correct me if i am wrong...
Intent.ACTION_SEND.equals(intent.getAction()))
1. The message not being delivered.
2. The exception block being fired where this toast message will be displayed to the user: "Unsupported content"

I don't know what's worse, this, or the fact that it is in a 488 LOC method. I can't trigger this behaviour in telegram though on mac or windows phone. Maybe just for Android?
A friend once mourned that she got too many spam mails. I recommended her a throwaway e-mail service via a private Facebook message. FB blocked my message telling me that I can not send it as it includes a dangerous link. I made a screenshot of this response and wanted to share that instead. The funny thing is that in the screenshot, FBs red comment re: the dangerous link was so blurry that you could not read it. I g…

No. This is inside the handleIntent() method which is like a main entry-point inside that Activity. And the intent being handled here is the ACTION_SEND. In simple words, when a message is being sent: Intent.ACTION_SEND.equals(intent.getAction())) And no, it isn't just removing "Sent from Whatsapp", it is setting the sendingText variable to null, which will result in: 1. The message not being delivered. 2. The except…
2. error=true is set in the else if case, which can not be stepped into anymore after having checked if the text contains "WhatsApp"

MSN was way more popular than AIM in parts of Canada (maybe all, I can't speak nationally). Probably, AIM usage correlated with AOL's marketing strategy, meaning it prevailed in the US, though I'm not even sure about europe. Anyhow, your assertion that MSN was only dominant in 3rd world countries is unfounded.
Don't know about other countries, on my case in France, it was MSN-only, I've never seen anyone with a AIM account ever. I had no idea it used to be popular in the US, I've actually learned that now.
Soon we'll have wall charts of who can and can't talk to what.
