In fact, Telegram has solved the issue with its Secret Chat feature. Since Telegram stores chats and files on a remote server instead of your device, you can also access everything (except secret chats) from the web.

You can, for instance, set up a proximity alert for when your friend gets within a 50-meter radius of you at the mall, so you can start looking for them around you.
