I want to share a picture or GIF with my friend on Telegram, but I don’t want to do it directly. What can I use?

      I have used SimpleX Chat for a few months and the following made me switch to XMPP:

      • It literally drains my battery on my Google Pixel 6a with GrapheneOS. I had to charge my phone 1 time per day. Before and now after, I only need charge my phone 1 per 2 days.
      • It is “impossible” for me to connect SimpleX Chat on Linux. Haven’t tried on Windows because I don’t use that shit due to privacy reasons.
      • If you’re in a voice call and goes back from the call to send something in the chat (like a picture), the call will end. You are not allowed to use the chat while you’re in a call in SimpleX Chat.
      • Possibly linux@lemmy.zip

        Simplex chat is good for group chats. The battery life is fine as long as you switch it to periodically check for incoming messages. Calls will break but they are already completely unstable so its not a big deal.

        Just out of curiously, what do you use instead?
