Telegram on SailfishOS
 

I actually wanted to switch to XMPP, but telegram seems quite fine as well. So I started compiling the source of Telegram-cli which went father flawlessly. Every dependency can be found in the repositories. I have not tried yet registering, so I'll keep you updated. For now it seems to work fine. Now my friends have to switch from Whatsapp. :p

(Screenshots will come as soon as I can upload them from my pc, maybe this evening)

Ah, I missed your post then. Hopefully someone will make a GUI sooner or later. Would be nice. :)

i'm looking into making library for telegram

Telegram's working fine indeed. Contacts sync straight from phonebook would be even better though. Well, we'll see. :)

Telegram Messenger is a messenger application
 

And for those like me who have no idea what Telegram is in a mobile application context, a quotation from Wikipedia:
"Telegram Messenger is a free and partially open source cross-platform messenger with a focus on security. Telegram users can exchange encrypted and self-destructing messages, photos, videos and documents (all file-types supported)."

Hi Guys

i downloaded and installed Telegram (official android app) on my jolla running latest version 1.0.3.8.. (i didn,t register yet)

although the site (dev) says it is encrypted en secure and stuff
i would love to know the difference between this Cli and the official app..
I don,t use whatsapp i use Mitäkuuluu because i don,t want my stuff out there..

so my question is really.. Do you guys think it's safe to use official telegram app.. Or shall i just wait for Native Sailfish version (with extra features :)..) thanks in advance

Kind regards J. Neutron

People around me flee towards Telegram, so I was curious. However, the rpm did not install on my Jolla.
Failed, error code 7.
pkcon -y -p install-local /home/nemo/Downloads/elegram-cli-Beta-2.armv7hl.rpm
Fatal error: nothing provides libconfig.so.9 needed by telegram-cli-Beta-2.armv7hl
I guess I'd better wait for a version in Warehouse ;)
