I think it would be a great idea to make a kosher Telegram app.

Features may include:
  • The ability to only message contacts
  • The ability to only join pre-approved channels

A random idea that popped in my head :)

+1mm and it shouldn't be hard for a programmer as telegram allows you to such stuff I believe (as in making custom clients etc)
Still looking for a good MS method :)

Would be amazing. Telegram is so much better than Whatsapp.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Lol not yet.

Was literally just telling me last night that he is considering taking on such a project.

I think maybe disabling the search feature.

+100000000000000000000

Two problems are that it's much less popular, and had a bad name due to all kinds of shady stuff going on (such as Telegrass in Israel). Also, I'm not sure if voice and video call quality is as good as WhatsApp - I don't care that much, but for many it's important.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Telegram also happens to be (low-key), the best cloud storage system ever!
Upload up to 2 GB per file!
Unlimited storage!
Organize with folders, channels and hashtags!

Which part of telegram is not kosher? I might be asking a dumb question or too Innocent but I haven't seen anything worse then whatsapp.  Plus most  filtering companies allow telegram to be enabled.

It allows you to search for any Channel. My understanding is that most (proper) filters block telegram.
Imagine you can join any WhatsApp chat... (The default for chats is that they are public)

You asked someone delivered.... even before you asked...

There used to be a long time ago ChatSID (developed by the Livigent filer developers), it's not on the Play Store anymore but here is the APK https://www.dropbox.com/s/xvn9fvm1ecq2r3j/ChatSID_v2.1.apk?dl=0

More recently there is Teleteens (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ori.telegram.app&gl=IL) which has quite a cool system of restrictions setup.

Can a parent set up restrictions for their children on this? How about on iPhone, can parental controls apply to this on a granular level?

@Dan maybe this calls for a DDMS post about the advantages of Telegram and what Teleteens can do (possibly better than WhatsApp that many allow).

ChatSID doesn't seem to work for me (it's saying app not installed).
As for Teleteens, that's definitely a big improvement over Telegram, just some things to note:
  • There is ads displayed, but seemed to go away once logged in.
  • There's an overly distracting bot icon the flashes at you when it wants your intention.
  • The app starts off with full abilities which can then be restricted. This makes it less likely for a filter to allow.
