What is Telegram FOSS?
Chat with friends, start group chats and share all kinds of content. All of your messages and conversations are stored in Telegram's cloud.
The messaging platform is aimed at mobile devices, but desktop and web clients exist as well.
Several proprietary parts were removed from the original Telegram client, including Google Play Services for the location services, HockeySDK for self-updates and push notifications through Google Cloud Messaging. Location sharing functionality is restored using OpenStreetMap.
The official source code of the app contains binary blobs, so this tracks a fork which builds those from source. Hence, versions might become available with a certain lag.
