[Feature] Have you considered having Telegram as an option instead of SMS? (Is it possible?)

[tdbe]

Before settling on Finder, I was researching making a Telegram bot that I could run on device B, and then have device A send a message to device B that causes the bot to reply with the location. But it seems that's not possible probably by design so you can't spy on people.

However, couldn't Finder just use Telegram instead of SMS for its code sending and location receiving? -- Would be so much better when you're roaming.... :)

Thanks and sorry if I've been spammy. I am done now I promise :D

[EDIT] Just pointing out that unlike Signal, Telegram has an extensive API for such things. Other apps like OSMAnd use it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.osmand.telegram

I used telegram api, it's really not difficult (when I was writing my bot on python). But such way will require something like web-server on device (for receiving commands, but after first message to bot it can simply send locations to this user anytime), and constant access to Internet
