Yeah I wish they implemented lightning ffs
I believe whatsapp is easy and the best to use. The combination of messaging, video calls and audio calls is just cool.
WhatsApp is the best in functionality. Leave the other messaging apps for your kids.
Desktop wallet is meh.
I believe Telegram progress has been more impressive.
Very glad I've managed to leave WhatsApp. I'm a Signal only user now.
