My wife and I tried Signal in the past and ran into situations where messages were lost or sometimes delayed by hours, some showing up well after other messages were, making conversations occasionally very frustrating.

Messaging apps are definitely one of those situations where I expect things to work all of the time, not just most of the time.

I've had no issues with Telegram, and I think, although less secure than Signal, it's a great option to replace Whatsapp.
Feature wise telegram is definitely the best challenger right now. Signal is good but not as good. I wish it was better because of privacy. I like telegram too much now.
I had exactly those same problems.

I used it with a group of friends but one of them often didn't receive our replies.

Happens to me too.
