    WeeChat[0] with Bitlbee[1] supports a metric assload of services, albeit by pretending they're IRC (which does work - I spent years in weechat/irssi with bitlbee talking to various people on disparate services.)

    Or if you're just after Telegram/WhatsApp, nchat[2] is ok (I can vouch for the Telegram half only.)

    The fact that Telegram provides an API enabling third-party clients (like this one) is the main thing that sets it apart from the other big mobile chat platforms (WhatsApp, Messenger, Signal) for me.

    It's really nice to have access to a wide variety of client softwares, and the ability to build ones own (shameless plug - I built https://github.com/d99kris/nchat which is a simple TUI client).
