Compared to e.g. KakaoTalk the UX is fairly poor
Edit: To perhaps stem the downvote tide: The impulse for my comment is that OP probably hasn't tried it, even though Telegram and KakaoTalk have similarly sized userbases and the emotion-inspiring stuff in the Telegram client app is mostly a timid knock-off of better Asian messengers (the Telegram team faces the challenging task of slowly acclimatizing Western audiences to features it knows will eventually be popular, by example). The West-centricness of such statements is grating to me.
The reason my comment doesn't substantiate the UX difference further is that I can't think of a single feature or screen that isn't better realized in Kakao's Android app than in Telegram's. General performance, group management, galleries / archive retrieval stuff, cross sharing, search, stickers, etc. It's available with a full English UI, go have a look. (From a privacy/security/freedom POV Kakao is terrible, though.)
