So sad that Telegram has a bad reputation in the West. It's *by far* the best UI/UX messenger out there. WhatsApp doesn't even come close (although I love the fact that it runs on the BEAM).

I’ve tried to find a cross platform messaging and calling app for the kids to use, and Telegram actually came pretty close to being a good option because I didn’t find any feed of random content in it. It fell on that you need to pay to be able to limit who can contact you.

And even then The spam still comes through.. and kids can search unrestricted for certain materials you may not want them to get. Try it.

What sort of spam? For example, I'm being added to groups without permission sometimes, but it's only because I didn't disallow that in the privacy settings (I'm fine with opting out). Spam in groups can be handled with spam watching bots. Other than that, I'm not seeing spam in Telegram.
