Switching to S20+ from iPhone

[SteveJUAE]

Let's take one example. Let's say you're the OP, wanting to switch iOS to Android. How do you suggest him/her in migrating his/her Whatsapp from iOS to Android?

With telegram, I simply log in on a new device regardless of platform, and all my chat history is there. And I can do this on all my devices, tablets, PC, all at once, without pesky web apps. Try doing that with Whatsapp.

This is not true

If you want true end to end encryption there is no back-up, no multiple device use and no cross platform use

Source Telegram FAQ:
"All secret chats in Telegram are device-specific and are not part of the Telegram cloud. This means you can only access messages in a secret chat from their device of origin. They are safe for as long as your device is safe in your pocket. "

Of course Telegram has some popularity, but quite minor compared to Whatsapp

Telegram is promoted as a lightweight open source, customize-able, fast secure chat app, with voice but no video capability

But its less know part of it's popularity is allowing, due to its set-up and free sponsoring by a Russian chap, is people swapping illicit copies of films etc rapidly

They regulate almost nothing other than some policy on terrorists, under the disguise of it's private chats between people or groups. Mix with them as you wish and be mindful of open source coded bots etc that are allowed

Face value underlying premise iffy IMO

Well, things did not go exactly according to plan. We got new phones, but not the ones we were expecting to get.

Is that space gray or midnight green?

I'm almost on day two without charging my 11 Pro Max. I'm at 67%. I'm a pretty heavy user. I have to say, the battery life on this phone has never been fully tested by me. So I'm giving it a go right now and I'm super pleased with the results so far. It has beat any and all Androids I've owned.

You picked a good device.

That is space gray. My wife got the green. It’s super nice and she got a clear Apple case for it. Outrageously overpriced case for what it is. But she’s happy so I‘m happy.

Pro Max?

Enjoy it, battery life is stupid good! I am absolutely loving this thing!

Never thought I’d get a smartphone that gave me Huawei Level battery life, then Apple said: “Hold my craft beer” and made the 11 Pro Max.

Amazing how much they stepped up battery life wise. The difference was massive. And even bigger batteries to come this year but guess it’s needed with 5G and 120hz.

I managed to get 10 hours screen on time at weekend which I’ve never done before.

Indeed!

Oh yes, I am also getting upwards of 10hours SOT, it’s simply insane. It’s officially a workhorse and road warrior.
