Yeah some of them remove bloats from google and replace google map with osm etc.

Indeed, I like Cherrygram on Android

I switched from Fossgram to Cherrygram just to be able to hide the All Chats tab

Blaze@reddthat.com on 07 Mar 2024 09:08 collapse

Separate, I use Obtanium to manage the app

I too had no idea there were forks.

Unigram crowd checking in!

The_wild_card@lemmy.today on 07 Mar 2024 04:54 collapse

Hmm i might have to check that out

I think the client is actually built by Telegram itself. The main developer certainly seems employed by Telegram. While not 100% as speedy as the original Win32 client, Unigram is a proper Windows citizen, with support for a range of modern features (including the reason I shifted, namely that it handles multiple monitors with different DPIs without any problems)

Unigram is my main client on desktop because it supports Instantview which is very convenient.
