The shitty forced "stories" did me question seriously this once wonderful app. If I'd want to look at crappy TikTok-like shorts from other people, I'd be on TikTok.
I had the same worry when it happened to signal
Signal has stories as well?
Inexplicably, yes. It does
Yes, but the can be disabled, which I do automatically.
Yeah but you can trivially turn them off.
Once I saw the stories I was like ok wtf. How do I turn this off?
Maybe revanced manager can do it.
I'm using Nekogram, that at least allows to automatically hide (archive) them.
Forkgram

Seems to be doing the trick for me but the icon sucks and I had to rename it in the android UI cause it uses its package name for its display name lol. How's nekogram compare?
Yeah, the package/display name issue has been a bug for a while in Forkgram. Nekogram just works for me, nothing special apart from some custom options, such as hide stories.
Looks nice but https://github.com/nikitasius/Telegraher/issues/27
I fear that Telegram may ban user accounts...
