> What's in Telegram that you don't see in Signal?

The first feature that comes to mind for me is being able to use multiple devices. Signal only allows using it with one phone. If you add a second device, the first one stops working. You can use a computer and a phone, but not multiple phones. Telegram supports this without any issues. I still struggle to understand this limitation.

It’s easy for telegram to support this since it’s not e2ee. When you create a so called private chat on telegram, this chat is also only available on the device you created it on.

    E2EE is not important to me. Continuity of chats and lack of friction in accessing them is important to me.

    Signal is able to do this with my phone and my computer. The one-phone limit seems arbitrary.
