WhatsApp seems to have animated stickers, though. I haven't used them, but they're popular.

>My family hates WhatsApp

Wish I had your family. Telegram's new Group voice chat feature (Push to talk) might push them over though.

But why Telegram over Signal?

signal is a messaging app. telegram is a damn nice platform for a lot of stuff, messaging included :)

Privacy excluded.

But why another walled garden and not distributed Matrix?

Yeah, i thought WhatsApp was the shit until I started using Telegram
