Wanted to know if there are any other android apps with features like telegram such as sending ,recieving big files creating channels etc. Using a bot or channel in telegram to pirate movies and series are infinitely easier than torrenting . But as telegram is not fully open source and requires a phone number to create an account i am looking to see if there are any better alternatives which aldready does have a piracy ring like telegram . If you know any share . I am asking this here because i think it is the right sub and i can't find an alternative anywhere on the web . If it isn't the sub for this i will delete the post if you request so in the comments.

EDIT : It seems everyone missed my questions point i don't want a privacy focused app like telegram to chat i want a app that is privacy focused but can also help me pirate media .

I don't think matrix have piracy groups but yes in terms of privacy it's the best (ok maybe not the best and i should have put some reaserch into it my bad guys . i don't use it though)

No, Matrix isn't the best in terms of privacy. It is a metadata disaster and Telegram clients are still more performant.

Matrix's E2EE does not, however, encrypt everything. The following information is not encrypted: Message senders, Session/device IDs, Message timestamps, Room members (join/leave/invite events), Message edit events, Message reactions, Read receipts, Nicknames, Profile pictures

Ask your mates with whom you connect on telegram to move to matrix

Lol from telegram my friends won't move from instagram to telegram only a few of them are available in telegram that too rarely. I am the only one not on insta in our friends group and everyone aldready thinks i am tinfoil hat guy if i tell them about frediverse and the problems with using instagram they will think i am going nuts . I just call them if i want to talk nowadays .

I've seen and heard of a few. Thing is when you join them you'll only get access to newer stuff there, the E2EE makes past messages unreadable if you haven't been there for a while. It's not like on Telegram where you get Room history access.
