Telegram works very well but is a nightmare from privacy perspective since they store everything* unencrypted as long as they want. They even call themselfes “cloud messenger”.
(*) everything but the e2e chats you can set up but are barely used since they can’t be accessed on desktop and there’s no e2e for groups
My favorite telegram feature is that you can nuke entire chats with a couple of clicks. I wish more texting apps had that type of design because it gives you ownership of your messages/discourse.
I’d suggest you try Threema or Telegram. I personally use both but have more trust in Threema overall.
