Telegram VS TelegramSwift

Also, if you want to go hardcore: https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram

Compare https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/commits/main with https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/commits/master

Here's a good example https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/blob/master/TMessagesProj/src/main/java/org/telegram/ui/ChatActivity.java

Forkgram have more features, but not a fork of Telegram-FOSS, is based on official source witch can contain some proprietary blobs

For a couple of updates already I've been noticing this behavior on my Android phone. Telegram support has been silent unsurprisingly, so I've considered opening an issue directly on github, but repo for android client doesn't allow this. I'm out of ideas how to bring attention to this, because I know other android users with the same issue so it's not user-specific

I see this huge C++ file and I raise you a Java file that's so enormous github refuses to render it: https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/blob/master/TMessagesProj/...

— Do not use checkboxes and radio buttons in cells. Due to the complex xml structure and internal layers coloring, simple initialization of the checkbox on old phones took a very long time. As a solution, either use the checkbox images (but then they will be without animation), or use a custom checkbox, as for example telegram uses https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/blob/master/TMessagesProj/src/main/java/org/telegram/ui/Components/CheckBoxSquare.java Made by analogy on kotlin: https://github.com/ivan200/buyer/blob/master/app/src/main/java/app/simple/buyer/util/views/CheckBoxSquare.kt

Better comparison with WhatsApp instead of ancient text editor would be Telegram app [1] built with Swift and C/C++, given hypertext and rich media that is modern messaging app like Telegram, it is resembles more a subset of web browser functionality rather than text editor, so binaries for this around 235 MB in size.

I see two versions mentioned in https://macos.telegram.org/

This?

Telegram's official website links to a repo from user overtake, but that hasn't been updated in six months, despite the app obviously getting many updates in that timeframe. The repo has a few pull requests—some open, some closed, but nothing closed in the last fix months.

Do you also have a macOS device? It might be this bug.

It's finally been confirmed as an official bug: https://github.com/overtake/TelegramSwift/issues/847
