The only one of these that is a ‘bug’ is the failure to ring on android.

The rest are all feature requests.

That said, it’s interesting to see what people think are basic requirement for a messaging app these days.

If you want to be reductionist, everything is a feature. But if an app is missing something so basic as to impact usability, I might consider it a bug. It's a matter of opinion where the line is, of course.

Uncontroversial example: a calculator app that doesn't have a divide key. Technically, yes, it's a separate feature from the multiply key, but it's so basic, so expected, that its absence is a bug.

From the above list, I consider "No easy way to do and restore backups on Android and impossible to do backups on their PC client" a bug, or at least a frustrating omission by design.

More like missing basic features. I never said all are bugs, I said some are bugs and that all these things exist and work on the other alternatives like WhatsApp or Telegram

Ok, but that means your criteria for a basic messenger app is something that does everything that all the other messaging apps do.

The camera thing is definitely a bug, on iOS there are issues, too (eg doesn’t rotate pictures from landscape to portrait correctly).

Taking poor pictures, if it is due to using the wrong API is also a bug.
