Everything is nice and cool until people hold entire conversations using stickers... Or maybe that's just my dumbass friends.

Wait... we've done this

@gif is my favourite bot. Bf and I often have gif wars. He thinks he wins most of them but usually I just let him think so

There are some sites that I am a member of and the webmasters moved the chat systems to telegram. It gets fun when the supergroup has 270+ members with 30+ interacting at the same time. Much better than WHatsapp by far.

What is your favourite bots? I'll start:

@villagegamebot - great age of empires like text game
@GmailBot - for receiving emails and replying to them. You can even start new ones
@YTAudioBot - grabs audio from YouTube link if you feed him the link
@youtube - works inline also - searches youtube and give you link
@urluploadbot - url upload and you download straight from Telegram (500mb limit) - great for android roms etc.
@wradar_bot - gives you the weather in a nice .gif
@storebot - searches Telegram bot store
@vkm_bot - downloads music from Vk social media - useful for leaked/unreleased songs (works inline)
@addstickers - to search and add sticker sets (works inline)
@gif - search gifs (works inline)
@coub - same as above but also have audio gifs

There any more useful ones?

Some really useful bots in that list. Thanks.

I also use these:

@getmusicbot searches & rips SoundCloud
@imdb posts movie listings
@bing decent image search
@pollbot lets you run polls in your chats

Newly released Telegram Windows store app https://www.microsoft.com/en-za/store/p/telegram-desktop/9nztwsqntd0s

Same as the desktop version and will get updated automagically. Hopefully up next they'll make a true UWP app and merge the desktop and mobile version.

New BETA feature:

Record video with your front camera (and play them like a GIF).

LOL I've been playing with this now... haha can be fun, pull a face using video, switch off sound in post-edit, it auto converts it to a gif.

Telegram Desktop v1.0.36 (alpha version only, for now)

Calls on Windows/Linux/Mac

 

[faniebraai]

And again WhatsApp copied a Telegram feature:
- Now you can pin chats

Telegram Desktop v1.0.36 (alpha version only, for now)

Calls on Windows/Linux/Mac

I wish Telegram would put the call button by the persons name in a chat instead of having to tap on the name first to get to the call button.

Like whatsapp? :crylaugh:

mmmm that is like saying Samsung copied Apple by making their phone square. /shrug

Putting the call button next to the name without having to tap on the name first is simply logical

Sigh

Telegram really is a wasteland - I was one of the early adopters - fanie is about the only person who I (very occasionally) speak to via Telegram

Whatsapp rules the roost

I've loaded it on my families phones - they flatly refuse to use it 'cos all their other contacts are on whatsapp...

Inertia has a power of its own.
