Telegram consumes up to 50% of battery charge on iOS, with practically zero daily usage, all energy saving settings enabled, and a single followed channel, whether or not I force close the app or reinstall it. I gave up on trying to make it work, merely installing the fucking app ensures my phone is dead in the morning.

That sounds like a bug in your OS. Like, even if the app were doing something crazy, it shouldn’t eat that much memory.

That absolutely does not happen to me. I have it installed and don't use it (at all) and my battery life is fine.

You can use Telegram Web.

I have group of 15 friends using it and it barely uses 2% of battery while using it. Either you are just spreading misinformation or you should check your phone for custom wires added by the bad guys.
