>It appears as though Telegram will launch call functionality in the near future, possibly in the next update. Screenshots distributed online reveal quite a bit about the things users can control with Telegram calls.
>The first notable call setting is the ability to control just who can call you. Because Telegram allows you to connect with strangers via usernames - unlike WhatsApp which requires you to share a phone number - Telegram users may not want everyone to be able to ring them. Users can either allow everyone to call them, permit calls only from those on their contact lists, or simply block all incoming calls. There is also an option for blocking individual users from calling.
>The other notable aspect to Telegram calls is the ability to verify that a call is encrypted. Telegram generates an image and text string which can be compared with the image and text generated on the other user’s device. If they’re the same then end-to-end encryption is guaranteed.
>The calling functionality can be tested by Android users running the latest beta release of Telegram. The menu item to make calls is hidden by default but following this guide (Telegram required) will detail how to enable calls that you can experiment with on a test server.
Is this going to trigger a lot of people on Sup Forums since so many of you have crippling social anxiety and would rather communicate with another human being via text?
Signal already does that and doesn't have shit security
Zachary Campbell
More people on Sup Forums use Telegram, I'd bet.
Dylan Evans
More people on Sup Forums probably use windows 10. People are morons who just like to come on here and shitpost
Easton Fisher
It's irrelevant because normies refuse to use anything other than Facebook Messenger.
Jason Robinson
They also use Whatsapp and Telegram is basically the same thing so...
Luis Sanchez
Windows 10 > Loonix
Easton Martinez
If only someone used it.
Gavin Watson
Telegram is easily one of the most popular IM services on Sup Forums
Leo Myers
>one of the most popular IM services on Sup Forums >implying that means something in the real world
Gavin Cox
>having friends who don't have Sup Forums values
Adam Young
Not true anymore
Nathan Parker
Which just shows what retarded lemmings Sup Forumstards are. Telegram is one of the worst designed "security" apps around. You'd probably be better off just using whatsapp
Jonathan Kelly
but telegram isn't a "security app", it is chat app, for people, not for muhsecurity retards
Hudson Jackson
But that's supposedly a big reason to use it. Otherwise there's apps with better functionality and way more users
Austin Campbell
>but telegram isn't a "security app"
Yes it is. Their tentpole features are security-focused and this new calling feature is "encrypted" with pass phrases on each calling screen.
Nolan Reyes
Ugh that pic
Christian Rogers
>Telegram is easily one of the most popular IM services on Sup Forums

Brayden Hill

Joseph Roberts

Mason Phillips

Brayden Taylor
Wire > Everything.
Henry Cook
>these people outside "email" circle
Isaiah Reyes
You beat that video game yet? Get your homework done.
Joseph Russell
My job is to literally look at Islamic State telegram accounts for a security corp Its about to get alot shittier.
Thomas Powell
