I'm struggling to understand this. Tons of people openly have babyfur usernames and such on telegram....
Telegram tells your phone's contacts that you have telegram.
Isn't this a huge privacy violation? Isn't the app supposed to be all about privacy?
What, exactly, does it tell them? I like telegram for the most part. It has some other nice features. I kinda wish more of my friends used it. But this really, really annoys me! So I decided not to use my fursona name nor avatar on telegram.
Does it tell android/ios contacts your telegram username? And if so, why aren't people worried about other contacts, such as family and coworkers, finding out they're babyfurs?
They're ok with hiding my number from people who don't know it.... But people who know my number get to find my telegram account, even if I'd rather not have them know it?
This is totally unnecessary anyway. If I want someone on my messenger list, I'll add them myself. I don't want everyone in my Google contacts knowing all about my online activity (slight exaggeration)
I see the option to add one person from my android contacts. Coincidentally, it's someone that is/was a member here, but I haven't talked to him, nor seen him around on the site, in a few years. I don't know what he sees on his end.
Telegram used to allow you to use voip numbers, like Google voice and stuff like that. It seemed like a great idea to me, but they blocked that option before I joined.
Am I misunderstanding something? It's possible. If so, please explain clearly. :sweatdrop: Surely there is somehow some sort of privacy protection here that I'm not noticing...?
