Telegram 4.4 - Broadcast your current location to any chat in real time

@producthunt this field should be optional

Pros:

Simply the best and leanest messaging experience. I mean look at FB messenger overview screen - It's like a cluster fuck.

Cons:

There is so many hidden features in Telegram. I never get to explore them all. Hard to find out.

The best messaging app ever. I use it both for business and personal communications.

Live location is really useful while bot platform can be improved if bot will be able to track live locations

Pros:

Great fast live location sharing

Cons:

Bot should be able to track live locations

It's time to add the QR code scan to add friend feature

It's simple, beautiful and fast. What's not to love?

Pros:

The desktop app! I switched phones (Nexus 6P to 3310) and the only messaging app I use is Telegram. Plus, the desktop app has themes!

Cons:

I want a sticker store with ALL the stickers. Why can't all my friends be on Telegram instead of Whatsapp?

Telegram is gaining more and more users because it's one of the best, if not the best, in its field. This new live locations feature is very useful and its user interface very well designed, totally safe for the users privacy because you have really to want to share your location , it's not possible doing it by mistake, also you can decide how long you want this share to go on and you can always disable it with a quick and easy action. Very well done to the dev team, congrats ;) As a bot maker I also appreciate a lot that this cool feature is available through the BOT API , I quickly implemented it in my @BlitzyBot that matches users basing on location and needs and it was a godsend for this bot, now my users don't have to continually update their position manually to receive relevant matches and push notifications, they can just enable live locations with Blitzy and rest assured they can move with phone in the pocket and receive notifications when entering in the right area. Again congrats to the dev team to help other devs and makers to integrate with Telegram ;)

On my phone right now I have Line, WeChat, Kakao Talk, Facebook Messenger, Slack and Telegram. Telegram is hands down my favorite.

Pros:

Interface is clean

Link previews are second to none

Sticker system rocks

Bots are very powerful

File transfer size is amazing

Cons:

Would love to see group calls and video chat

Animated stickers would be great

Catching up on huge groups is a pain

nil-

Pros:

A lot of cool feature

Cons:

Still have two desctop clients for Mac which is kind of confusing

I don't really like Pavel Durov, but his products were always great. Telegram has not the same user amounts as Viber or WatsApp, but it's better than both. Also, it is the only messenger that keeps your info safe, not selling it to anyone, even to the governments of Russia.

Humm privacy was the big point. Not fan of this feature.
