&gt; but Telegram is not even sending messages that are shared from WhatsApp<p>This is wrong. If you follow the logic (which is admittedly difficult) you&#x27;ll see they are stripping out the &quot;sent from WhatsApp&quot; tagline WhatsApp adds when you share a photo, etc from WhatsApp to Telegram.<p>You&#x27;ll still get the photo, it just won&#x27;t have the tagline indicating where it came from. Still a bit shady but I also dislike the &quot;Sent from ...&quot; taglines.<p>EDIT: Parent is a WhatsApp employee... now this seems like sort of a lame attempt to justify their own unethical behavior. This makes me pretty bummed.
