Finally, been waiting on this for a while. Will be much easier to convince family and friends to make the switch from WhatsApp. Interesting that the recent Apple drama is making its way into the update as well. I really doubt it's Apple being petty after Telegram's CEO attacked them but, considering yesterday's Epic vs Apple debacle, I wouldn't be surprised if this escalates.

The actual scandal to me is that Apple used to be given unfair advantages by developers delaying updates on Android because the iOS version hadn't been approved yet.

Where? I didn't see it. (Is it possible that the blog post was edited after the fact?)

They didn't wait for Apple's approval of the iOS app before releasing the Android app this time.

Apple has blocked telegram updates before when they tried to push updates to comply with GDPR.
