This is not true. The web client connects directly to Telegram in the same way as the \
phone client or the desktop client. It doesn't need your phone active. It doesn't \
even need the app installed on your phone (not sure about first-time signup).

WhatsApp Web does everything through your phone (and people hate it). Telegram Web \
doesn't.

People can contact you via your "alias" without needing your phone number, in which \
case they won't see your phone number either. You can also join a group whether you \
have an alias name or not, and others in the group will not see your phone number \
(unless they already have it in their contacts).


I don't disagree with your other points, just avoiding misinformation on the above \
two.
