  I don’t get how people expect services to stay free while also being against any kind of subscription or ads and barely donate to support these projects.

  This isn’t an essential feature they’re paywalling. I don’t even remember the last time I sent a voice note, let alone get one from a stranger. Feels more like a thank you from the devs for supporting them

    I’d understand paying for an active feature, like to SEND voice messages, but not having to pay to restrict spam sent my way.

      This is VOICE MESSAGE we’re talking about, not calls nor chats. You can already block calls from non contacts and create a folder to only show chats from your contact.

      How many voice message spams have you received that you feel like this is a deal breaker and how is Signal an appropriate alternative in this regard, when it doesn’t even have as many privacy options as Telegram?

        If it wasn’t useful it wouldn’t be paywalled.

      But spam pays the bills?

    Also it’s not like voice messages auto play, so this really isn’t a necessary feature

    Why don’t they charge to use telegram infrastructure.
