It’s straightforward, just works, on every device. Like messengers did years ago.
Easy to login to a new device and instantly start messaging there, with history - just need a current device to verify you.
It’s why I use it. I’d happily use it for friends and family, if I could get them on board. At least it’s not WhatsApp, or something from Google that will die sometime soon.

I’m very lucky that all my friends adopted it - it was one of the few clients that everyone knew of (we are distributed across a lot of countries now; US, UK, France, Brazil mainly).
When I’m forced back to WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger or iMessage I feel like a race driver being told to ride a bicycle. Telegram’s feature set isn’t just the fullest, it’s also revealed in the best UX, where it somehow manages to be fully decked out but not seem bloaty.

It got pretty bloated in recent years with reactions and animated stickers to name a few

Myeah, I agree that they’ve added quite a lot of features. But I do think they’re very well hidden, while remaining discoverable. You can use them if you like; if not they don’t get in the way. YMMV of course.
