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?

Take a picture with a polaroid and post it to an image board you both share in the same house.

Use Signal and if you both are happy with it, dump that garbage app 😂

Signal is better than telegram but just a little bit. Honestly people should be using Signal if anything as it is better than many other popular platforms like WhatsApp and regular SMS.

Signal is centralized. I don’t like it.

Define “safely”. That means different things to different people.

Telegram has their secure chat, which is fully E2E.

Only on mobile, and hidden opt-in

Better drop that BS platform

It does, but it’s in a very malicious fashion. You need to activate something called “Secret Chat” for a given chat conversation. Only then is it E2EE. Otherwise, it’s unencrypted like discord n stuff.

I don’t trust telegram because they have closed servers.

And you still haven’t answered the question.

Define safely. We really can’t help until we known what you’re trying to do

I just want the telegram to not have access to the photo. Otherwise, I would use other methods to transmit it.

I’m going to come off as retarded but I have to ask: when did Signal get this bad rep? I remember not too long ago that it and Telegram were praised for their privacy practices. What happened for that to change?

Signal requires a phone number. I’m not sure about telegram

Not on the Internet. Convert the gif to dvd. Then burn the dvd. Then give to your friend and burn the dvd again.
