I just DELETED Telegram app, from my phone!!
It’s HORRID!
Every time I opened the app, it went to something that was mimicking my ‘settings’ and asking to access all of my phone contacts.
I did find one group I was looking for (from a friend, who’d sent an email out to our retreat group), and joined that group, but it would never navigate off of that group...only to that strange settings page (that was almost a mirror copy of my phone).
Are you using on phone or what device? Thx.
That is why I never signed up for gmail, wanted all my contacts.
