Telegram added stories not too long ago and I feel the same way about that. It's UI pollution we don't want, and that we didn't ask for, and that serves no real purpose.
Every time I get one of those from Telegram I always report it stating that nobody asked for it and that it's utterly unnecessary for a messenger app.
Telegram started the enshittification route already. Premium version, locked features and stickers, spam about their crypto crap, and now these useless stories
(deleted content)
Premium costs a bit too much for me. I'd purchase it but not at that price.
I think you can hide thoose(archive) stories
It's funny to see that the only stories happening there are the ones from telegram itself. No one else in my contact list is using that since release.
Some of my contacts did, but I hid them stories right away, so they don't clutter the interface
Signal Statuses are literally the only way I "social media" with people I know.
Kinda same
South American Countries: Hold my picture
Actually North America too (Mexico).
It's a huge thing in Asia actually.
Must be a different part of Asia as no one uses WhatsApp here
maybe it's that western peninsula, europe or whatever.
Nope… SEA

Only use for status is to say you're on Signal.
It is very popular in India. Especially for folks who don't use Instagram.
I wish they'd just add something useful like threaded conversations.
I just want themes. Any app regardless of whatever the fuck it is, banking, notes, video player, web browser... I want to customize it.
We're back to the days of AIM, MSN/Yahoo Messenger, and ICQ lol
It is happening. WhatsApp statuses are extremely popular.
