Never bothered with telegram. I'm old school, strictly pc. But guaranteed my next machine will come preloaded with Linux. F Bill Gates looking in my windows. The onedrive feature is the most unwelcome intrusion into the windows operating system. It is automatically installed into the file directory for the entire operating system. Bogus.
I've always found giving away my phone number an unacceptable privacy barrier.
Whatsapp works by harvesting people's phonebooks, that's even worse.
When one of my friends asks my why I'm not on Whatsapp, I tell them that I don't want Whatsapp to have their phone number (the friend) from my phonebook, or to link us that way. Sometimes I will ask them why they thought it was OK to give away my phone number to Whatsapp with my name attached to it without asking for my permission.
Metadata! No one seems to care. Anything for convenience.
I booted Gates' software off my machines 25+ years ago.
Speaking of Gates there were some interesting comments in the podcast below about how the plandemic looks a lot like the activation of some evil man's business plan. It was everything a convicted monopolist could wish for.
I lost my password to my MyDaughtersDaddy account so I don't think I can yet post a new topic. Could somebody check out this podcast and maybe create a new post if you find it valuable?

updoot for onedrive rant!
Telegram is available as a desktop app on Linux Mint. I user it daily.
I understand that.
DO you have to register a telephone number?
Yes and no. There are services that spoof a phone number so you can sign up.
OK Thanks.

registration process stops and repeats on that required input. I tried to give it my real number, but only US numbers are accepted.

This was released in 2012. Interesting movie, not at all like the previews suggest though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86-rYKl1NHs
