Tons, and tons. Telegram has a better user experience as well, both in the quality of the apps, and the way features work. Of course, in some cases, signal is a little hamstrung due to their aggressive security model.

Although, I think most of those telegram features are cute little addons and aren't really core to the purpose of the app (messaging).

Personally, I use signal for everything and have gotten my friends on it as well.

Telegram works EVERYWHERE esp with its web browser support. Signal for some reason tends to ignore Android tablets and ARM on ChromeOS & Windows.

Signal doesn't have the benefit of resources that telegram does. Also, they have to build their platform out "correctly" the first time, which makes life much harder.

It's a noble goal

which resources does tg have that signal don’t?

[redmare80]

Telegram has investors and revenue streams that far surpass anything Signal has (even with Acton/Marlinspike's generous endowment).

This means they can hire more employees. In fact, telegram has more than 10 times the employees and 25 times the funding than signal has.

Pavel Durov is a dollar billionaire, so that’s something.

[ushakov]

his money is not unlimited though

Telegram is burning at least $100m a year

That's a luxury that signal does not have.

Maybe instead of focusing on mobilecoin integration they should work on some of these important things. Their credibility already took a dent because of that
