    I never used stories in Signal and I don’t intend to in Telegram either

    I wish it had an option to prevent unknown people sending you messages. I’m getting fed up of the spam from people I don’t know.

    Really dislike that we can’t disable stories (AFAIK). Thank goodness for Beeper.

      That’s an advantage of having an open source client. Stuff like Forkgram or Nekogram on Fdroid could remove stories (if they were ever added in the first place, I haven’t tested)
