TelegramSwift VS signal-back

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

All I know of is signal back ( https://github.com/xeals/signal-back ) but I haven't been able to install and use this yet due to my complete lack of programming knowledge. Even the Github instructions don't make sense to me...

Once you figured out how this works, tell me: https://github.com/xeals/signal-back

A number of users have raised the issue on github: https://github.com/xeals/signal-back/issues/77

Hey there! Can you please link the rust tool you mentioned? I'm only aware of this go tool: https://github.com/xeals/signal-back

If your messages are Signal-encrypted, you can use the software on https://github.com/xeals/signal-back to export your encrypted messages as SMS, which you can then get as a PDF more easily.

Is this it?

I've tried using Signal Back to format my backup file into a format that I can read and use.
