    Thank you for such a fair and balanced response. Amazing work.

    I’m not sure why material you is important, would you mind explaining a bit more about that?

    I enjoy homogenous design across my system. When I gave some of the FOSS alternate front ends to Telegram a try, it really taught me just how much it makes a difference. It’s such a tiny thing but it’s nice to have. It’s one of those things where it’s like the developer cared.

    By “No filename preservation for audio files.” do you mean when you download it then it gets changed from its original name or something else?

    So me and one of my friends send each other tracks all the time. In Signal they’re all listed as “Voice Message • Sent by XXXXX” it’s just not useful.

      Thank you 🙂

      Oh that makes sense. I use Linux and it’s really frustrating trying to get all programs etc to all look or work in the same ways sometimes. Especially the small number of closed source ones I use like Steam.

      Oh yeah, I completely agree and wish Signal wouldn’t do that. I’ve noticed it for images too, I’m pretty sure.
