So, Telegram has launched horrible ads that look a lot like spam to me. At least in my channels it’s typically some crypto bullshit. So, I wonder if people know about alternatives to the subscription service for blocking them? Sadly, Forkgram won’t offer that option and it doesn’t seem to be allowed. However, I wonder if there are still forks out there which block the ads? Or do people know of alternative options?

      Set the navigation bar size to compact and this looks much better.

        Stories are primary content. In Telegram, Snapchat and all modern messengers, they’ve at the top of the message list. Even in Instagram that’s the case, in Signal, they’re pointlessly hidden because some old men who advocate for phones without front facing cameras spoke loud enough.
