Ukrainians are some of the bravest people I know.

To the extent that you can, do not use Telegram. Telegram is owned by a single person. This man is a fucking liar.

Telegram infrastructure is linked to the FSB.

Signal is more secure and owned by a nonprofit. The founder of Signal is a professional cryptographer.

Signal delivers end-to-end encryption by default and collects almost no data.

In addition to finding friends, it's nice to see your partner making progress home if they're driving/walking in poor weather.

There's a million apps out there which you can install to let you see your partner's location if you really need realtime telemetry to help salve your anxiety - why can't you use one of those, instead of introducing a huge privacy flaw into a totally unrelated messaging service?

Seriously this is about a messaging app being aligned to the FSB, and you're arguing that letting it know your partner's location while they're particularly vulnerable is somehow a desirable feature??

No, I'm not talking about Telegram, just location sharing as a general feature. And if you already have a chat app you share your secrets on, why wouldn't you also trust it with your location. Sounds better than introducing yet another company's app to sniff on you.
