I was a user on Telegram from India.

Telegram is not sending text messages because I don't have a premium account. And many features are locked in premium.

Currently, Telegram doesn't allow users to create or log in to accounts via third-party apps. Also, I need an official telegram (a must from the Play Store). (Not even the apk from their own website.) To receive a login code.

Do you guys ever feel that telegram has become so much worse?

Telegram doesn't have proper E2E encryption, so why are you using it for text messages at all? Asking this in privacy seems a bit weird to me.

The secret chats are E2EE. And I am not using it to send text messages. I am saying that Telegram is not sending me a text message login code because I do not have a premium account.
