   It does. And there are a couple of point programs for Android that work, but   
   have some issues.   
   But not everyone has the scripting/coding ability to make their own.   
   Telegram isn't Android specific, nor would I honestly recommend it as a   
   primary method for communicating on Fido.   
   It's meant to be a quick, convenient way to connect with Fidonet while you're   
   away from your primary method.   
   Perhaps also, a way to introduce people to Fidonet that might not know about   
   it, in a way that is more familiar to them, a group messaging program.   
   It won't be something everyone would want to use. I don't think that it's   
   meant to be.
