Wanted to know if there are any other android apps with features like telegram such as sending ,recieving big files creating channels etc. Using a bot or channel in telegram to pirate movies and series are infinitely easier than torrenting . But as telegram is not fully open source and requires a phone number to create an account i am looking to see if there are any better alternatives which aldready does have a piracy ring like telegram . If you know any share . I am asking this here because i think it is the right sub and i can’t find an alternative anywhere on the web . If it isn’t the sub for this i will delete the post if you request so in the comments.
EDIT : It seems everyone missed my questions point i don’t want a privacy focused app like telegram to chat i want a app that is privacy focused but can also help me pirate media .
Signal is the best, honestly the tech is unbeatable. If you don’t want to use a phone number, then Session is similar albeit with less robust encryption protocols.
They need to finally release the usernames feature. That will probably make it much more usable. At some point I managed to convince some of my friends to use signal, but ever since they removed sms support, even I don’t use it.
They should have waited for usernames to remove the sms support.
I don’t understand why the sms thing is such a big deal. Either use it or don’t, as in, I use shitty sms android when I must buy the majority of my communications are done through signal. Sms is not secure and should be avoided.

Signal has been legit and trustworthy for many years
