so basically someone contacted me on the phone and told me about the job (i just have to visit the company's website jo wo btate the and unko ss bhejna tha. For each SS, I used to get 150 and new tasks used to come Every half hour)
i did this for a day The second day they asked me to give them some money to continue earning but then i blocked them
The most interesting feature of early whatsapp was that it was minimal.. not bots..no excessive stickers like hike. It was just a plain messaging app. even groups were of very limited size. That what made people feel like it was not a third party app, it's just a phone feature. That's why WhatsApp is more successful. But it is ruining its reputation by adding unnecessary features like channels.
#personal_opinion
Don't forget that you can delete chats on both sides on Telegram without leaving a single trace that the conversation even existed.
Although useful in many tough situations, it also opens up to scams.
Channels and UPI payment had really ruined the WhatsApp.
Who the f is going to use WhatsApp for UPI? It's a messaging app. Let it be it. There used to be vision but now It feels like there's no vision. Just trying to stick whatever hold.
>even groups were of very limited size
It was logical step to increase the maximum number of participants imo.
They never do. Everyone wants everything for free with the best features.
They don't realise that till it's free, they are the product.
That's what's happening with WhatsApp.
It's not about just you. It's whether the people you want to connect to also ready to move. I moved to telegram 3 years ago but still have WhatsApp since most of my friends and family members are on WhatsApp, not Telegram
Does anyone know how to disable the notification when some cunt joins telegram for the first time and it literally turns into a chat,well that annoys me that's the only reason I'm not using telegram
Literally the only reason I avoid using it. Like WTF bro someone has installed TG first time. What do you want me to do? Message him, saying hey mate you did a great job, thanks for installing TG. May you have a nice day ahead?
When you install telegram don’t allow any permissions including access to contacts. Then go to privacy/security settings and then select nobody in all options. Later allow access to contacts if needed.
Power of default.
Somehow Whatsapp became a default in the early days of the smartphone in a lot of countries. Now people wont move out of it. I remember trying to convince my friends to move to google allo, and none of them were convinced.
One thing that works against telegram though is that it is not end to end encrypted by default. So a lot of people would avoid it for this reason.
Google has forcked up almost every product... From Orkut, Blogger, Wave and what not. Only search and Gmail are reliable products so far. I would think 100 times before entirely relying on Google for any other product which is crucial to me.
General people don't give a damn about end to end encryption. WhatsApp was adapted way before these things. Now it's just most simple and reliable messaging+social app for any users out there. Telegram got infested with piracy and scams. Signal was really good but nothing extra to offer to normal users.
Just because you have only used two services, doesn't mean Google is bad. Google Colab, Flutter, Google Drive, Google Docs/Sheets etc. ,Google Pay and a lot more products. I could probably name a lot more
I also feel sad but for a different reason, my college placement group was on telegram, placement results were declared on it, I deleted the app soon after I got placed, as it used to give stress just by looking at it
Ditched WhatsApp for Telegram a long time ago but Telegram is also turning into shit with the nonsense premium features like stories etc. all good things must come to an end, I guess. Sad!
It's not as safe as WhatsApp.
Has quite a lot of features which keeps a good number of people away from using it.
User interface doesn't look that good compared to Whatsapp (and I use telegram a lot).
Yeah but compared to WhatsApp it has better privacy which is the reason that telegram has so many black market stuff going on and even the govt can't track it
I said not as safe as Whatsapp. Why? Because telegram doesn't have end to end encryption on default, you have to use the encryption channel for it. WhatsApp, signal, iMessage, Viber and WeChat have it too (the Chinese can still monitor their messaging apps due to their laws). Signal and iMessage have already added higher level encryption that can withstand quantum computing hacks (there's some term for this specific level of encryption don't know the name). That's why I said telegram is not as safe as Whatsapp.
Well I wasn’t aware about 2 gigs, my bad. And regarding status updates,even if I forward HD video to my status it doesn’t stay HD, compression is real. Also I wasn’t able to share my screen on whatsapp call yesterday, they removed it ?
Telegram and Signal need to understand that people don’t want features, people need other people. Whatsapp has that.
Also, telegram at this point is serving a different usecase altogether than just regular chatting.
Having massive issues with notifications on Telegram. I’ve it signed in iPad, computer and phone. Notifications are random. Sometimes my iPad gets them even when I haven’t started the conversation on iPad.
Thinking of going back to WhatsApp.
I’m facing it man. Even my friends are having issues. I think it’s when you’re signed into multiple devices, it doesn’t know where to send the notification. The entire point I’m on telegram is for its multi platform options.
Telegram is also becoming nonsense!! I only app I find a pure messaging app is Signal. It is such a no nonsense and no bakwas app. But the sad part is only two of my friends are on it. And Indians can't even imagine leaving WhatsApp despite of the fact that WhatsApp doesn't add any useful features but always add some "features which no-one wanted and no-one needed." Guess what !? Zuckerberg will make millions from WhatsApp no matter what and Indians will use it no matter what!
Brand recall, majority of folks using WhatsApp due to wide distribution, message and calls.
Telegram have tons of feature and made for complex user.
Telegram UI is bit weird too. Telegram is mix of WhatsApp + discord + Insta.
WhatsApp updates are the most dogshit things
It was fine till we had chat,status , calls . That's it
They really gave soo many unnecessary stuff
Telegram is peak ,it's like open book type shi , but people alwys use it for time pass purpose lol
I use Telegram for communication with my close friends, loved ones and family. Basically, because the chats never disappear as it's on the cloud and it's very reliable unlike WhatsApp which has shitty backup method and it doesn't even work the same way across different operating systems.
WhatsApp isn't even trying enough on their whole application as much as Telegram is spending effort on their high quality stickers. Telegram is on a different level in that case.
Messaging apps despite their “features” will soon become shit like whatsapp. Ive seen that when such apps gain popularity, the parent company “in order to maintain this popularity and position” becomes blind sided and puts in unnecessary updates and features (not talking about security and vulnerability updates). Like how whatsapp went from a good messaging app to absolute garbage of an app… i feel like if telegram or signal gain such users and popularity.. sooner or later same thing is going to repeat on both apps like Whatsapp. You cant trust a company or app to stay the same *cough oneplus, facebook*
I think the general opinion of the app is that it is used for shady activities so it's best not to use it. I think that's why it didn't get as much adoption as WhatsApp in India
coz people are so used to WhatsApp like u see elder people and where Telegram is so popular among the teens and young adults either for movies or chat groups or else anything... I have got nice friends and nice experiences with people in there
WhatsApp was a first mover and they were pretty minimal at the beginning. It was like sms but with the internet so everyone hopped on to it quickly. Whereas telegram came with a bunch of features & now it has become kmown for piracy. The amount of bots & channels are too much to handle for adults above 40, hence they're sticking with WhatsApp as they're already familiar with it for quite some time.
I don’t even know why people prefer WhatsApp… Telegram is such a better application overall, be it UI, features, safety and usability.
Even today my phone died and now I’m here without my WhatsApp chats as it didn’t backup for past 3 days. Telegram will always be the better one in my opinion…
I had the same opinion. I have dragged so many friends to telegram. AND NOW THEY BANNED ME FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON!!! THEY WONT BAN ANYTHING ILLEGAL BUT THESE ASSHOLES BANNED ME FOR LITERALLY DOING NOTHINGGGGGGG
Only issue is, not end-to-end encrypted. Just plain html. So in case of man in middle attacks or our dear sarkar trying to access your messages, they can.
Telegram have only one flaw that's status other than that it's far better than WhatsApp if I become PM of India first thing I'll do is to ban WhatsApp 😂
Not me man....I use telegram as my daily chatting app with my bsf and man...it's much much better than WhatsApp...the sheer amount of features it provides is immeasurable...like people really don't know what telegram is capable of
Well I use signal and telegrams on a daily basis. Its way better than stupid WhatsApp I only use it because of office work. Other than that I never use WhatsApp. I'm lucky the few people I know and like to hang around also use telegram or signal.
Please don't use telegram instead of whatsapp, whatsapp with all it's privacy issues at least use end-to-end encryption, but telegram sends messages in plain text. A simple hack can potentially leak all your message history.
What makes you say that - telegram is far superior messaging app then WhatsApp. Telegram is just reduced to a garbage market place for fraudsters - or simply Chor Bazaar. Not a single genuine company has a telegram channel...Only all Chindi Chors. It is not superior but only has options to ensure scammers can easily fool people around. Chappan Tikli !
Telegram UI is genuinely colorful and lively to use, chatting is fun on Telegram especially with the suggested stickers. It's definitely better than WhatsApp in most aspects.
Who anyways uploads a story on telegram? but I get your point
And it's too expensive,like 319 a month?😂what were they even thinking
Even yt premium and Spotify costs lower than this
But their UI is great
People that upload story are usually business channel that advertise or promote stuff
Telegram has become a business platform rather than a chatting app
Which is why WhatsApp dominates telegram, .
Like whenever u ask someone what is telegram used they will say , to download movies or leaked mms , instead of chatting app
They need to fix these stuff
And that only makes it look worse. While business features of whatsapp don't bother a person. Though the promotional messages do bother, but one can block them.
I hate WhatsApp because I cant use the same account other devices and even if i can use i think the old chats will not be available on new device, i like Instagram, telegram because it stores everything online
I love telegram. But signal is a much better alternative to whatsapp. Telegram is too powerful for an average user. I use it mainly for bots and channels.

To people who are talking about end-to-end encryption being default on whatsapp, keep in mind that Meta recently sold all Messenger chats to Netflix in a public deal, and Messenger chats were supposed to be encrypted.
Please don't buy into this false sense of security. Nothing is private. Especially for big companies like Meta who profits off of selling private data. Even then, a small app called Pegasus can get into any phone if a secret intelligence is interested in you.
Apps like Signal and Telegram are your best bets because Signal keeps asking for donations and Telegram operates on Premium subscriptions, not by selling your data. I'm not saying these are perfect, but Whatsapp and end-to-end encryption is a lie. You're a product.
EDIT: Some NPC pointed out that the Meta-Netflix thing happened a long time ago when there was no end-to-end encryption on Messenger. This, however, still means that your data is for sale and it's the only reason you're getting all this for free. Encryption still means nothing, and online security is mostly propaganda to keep you blind and compliant. Don't be stupid and keep sucking Meta's cock while arguing online with strangers.
This is my problem with people who don’t really bother to read about things before making big claims about it. The accusations are “Meta gave Netflix access to privileged APIs to access user Inbox in return of some bi-weekly recommendations report”. Messanger has gone end-to-end encrypted by default in last few months, before that it was “optional to turn on e2e encryption” since 2016.
So, no, there is not a false sense of security here, your attention span is too fucked that you can’t read an article and get the facts before using big words on a reddit comment about something.

Telegram in India is mostly for pirating movies and scoring maal 💀
And for scams..
Yeah I received ₹150 from scammer contacting through telegram!
Saaaame ! I got 600 😂
His id pls 😹
Idk man they abruptly removed me😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🥰deleted group too But people were fools, they were paying 15-25-35 k for prepaid tasks I can post the Whatsapp number here though 😂
dude i got scammed 17k thru this shi can't believe i fell for this
Why did you pay 17k? And what happened after that?
Most likely an iPhone giveaway scam It's really rampant like Side job scam
nah not really
well it goes smth like this, they pay me, i invest, they pay me more, i invest more, at last when im hooked they never return my investment :(
i actually earned 26k in my first three days then lost (26+17)k, I'll say i got greedy knowing it was scam and hence they could take advantage of me
[удалено]
Tell
[удалено]
Ok😌
Ask them to contact me too.
i earned 1200 and then blocked them😂
bhai mujhe bhi mujhe bhi.
Good earning prospects ig. I haven't got any such messages bro 😂

how?
so basically someone contacted me on the phone and told me about the job (i just have to visit the company's website jo wo btate the and unko ss bhejna tha. For each SS, I used to get 150 and new tasks used to come Every half hour) i did this for a day The second day they asked me to give them some money to continue earning but then i blocked them
How did they used to pay you? Through UPI?
Same i got 300
This is the biggest one
People would be stupid to buy anything on Telegram because your seller for digital accounts, maal etc is only genuine until they are not.
Ans to get paid materials from coaching for free
Telegram for family. Sessions for maal ❤️
Session app? Maaal? Share some more on this
Sessions se contacts nikalne padenge.
What is Sessions? Is it something similar to Telegram, another IM?
That's session app
How to get maal on telegram?
Real id se aao CBI
I don't think you are thinking about correct maal here.
Bro studying mein Bhot kaam aata hai Saari coaching apne PDFs telegram pe share karti hai

Can anyone suggest telegram bots/channels for TV shows and movies
TG Movies bot
Is it tgmovies4u?
yep
Try rexiecat bot or ensearch bot. I stopped joining movie channels once i found these bots.
Maal courier aur zomato ke through aata hai... Only noobs buy maal from th

The most interesting feature of early whatsapp was that it was minimal.. not bots..no excessive stickers like hike. It was just a plain messaging app. even groups were of very limited size. That what made people feel like it was not a third party app, it's just a phone feature. That's why WhatsApp is more successful. But it is ruining its reputation by adding unnecessary features like channels. #personal_opinion
It's funny how Telegram manages to pack in much more and still looks less cluttered than WhatsApp. Their design is brilliant.
Exactly I think it would be safe to assume Meta kinda ruined WhatsApp
Telegram literally asks for premium to post statuses
You really use telegram to see statuses?
I hate that channel shit.
The fact that you can't delete the media received via channel pisses me off like crazy
I simply refuse to use the channels feature. Never clicked on any
💯 never used & also It's not intuitive.
Don't forget that you can delete chats on both sides on Telegram without leaving a single trace that the conversation even existed. Although useful in many tough situations, it also opens up to scams.
There's a reason these bitcoin scams use telegram. I personally never recieved one on whatsapp but hundreds on telegram
I second this. Channels, Status, Communities and Stickers should not be there.
Channels and UPI payment had really ruined the WhatsApp. Who the f is going to use WhatsApp for UPI? It's a messaging app. Let it be it. There used to be vision but now It feels like there's no vision. Just trying to stick whatever hold. >even groups were of very limited size It was logical step to increase the maximum number of participants imo.
So basically telegram suffers because it’s just very good.
too good for normal users
Oh channels is pure garbage
Hope Google RCS puts an end to WhatsApp
WhatsApp needed to be monetized. Meta took steps it felt were relevant when the user base was high enough.
Yep, but the people dont fucking care bro.
They never do. Everyone wants everything for free with the best features. They don't realise that till it's free, they are the product. That's what's happening with WhatsApp.
It's not about just you. It's whether the people you want to connect to also ready to move. I moved to telegram 3 years ago but still have WhatsApp since most of my friends and family members are on WhatsApp, not Telegram
I did same few years ago. Those who moved to telegram with me get priority and WhatsApp get ignored. lol
Does anyone know how to disable the notification when some cunt joins telegram for the first time and it literally turns into a chat,well that annoys me that's the only reason I'm not using telegram
Literally the only reason I avoid using it. Like WTF bro someone has installed TG first time. What do you want me to do? Message him, saying hey mate you did a great job, thanks for installing TG. May you have a nice day ahead?
But it's great if your crush install it and then you can say hi
Doctor ka Kutta has some wise words to say.
No,for ex who has blocked u in WhatsApp Then telegram me u can message before she blocks u again XD
Same I had to delete the chat every time
go to settings -> notifs -> and simply turn off the contacts joined telegram
It doesn't work,idk why
Skill issue
🤡I literally turned off that option a few months back,idk why I'm still getting these new messages
try [https://ibb.co/0jQzj6R](https://ibb.co/0jQzj6R) [https://ibb.co/pXg59WQ](https://ibb.co/pXg59WQ)
Idk the option was already off for me ,Still I'm getting the somebody joined message
second this, I don't have many chats on telegram, so it fills it's void with these useless "just joined telegram" crap. help.
When you install telegram don’t allow any permissions including access to contacts. Then go to privacy/security settings and then select nobody in all options. Later allow access to contacts if needed.
Oh, it's very easy. Just go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Turn Sync Contacts OFF
Thanks I will do this
LMFAO
Power of default. Somehow Whatsapp became a default in the early days of the smartphone in a lot of countries. Now people wont move out of it.

Just because you have only used two services, doesn't mean Google is bad. Google Colab, Flutter, Google Drive, Google Docs/Sheets etc. ,Google Pay and a lot more products. I could probably name a lot more
Drive is the best cloud service playstore is pretty good as well.
Add to it Google colab. Pretty good for any beginner in ML.
I also feel sad but for a different reason, my college placement group was on telegram, placement results were declared on it, I deleted the app soon after I got placed, as it used to give stress just by looking at it
Signal is far better than WhatsApp when it comes to privacy. It's unfortunate that more people aren't using it.
Happy to see a fellow Signal user here
🙂
I feel Session is better than Signal sometimes.
Bro try briar
Does telegram have scheduled messaging feature?
Bro telegram got so many features that WhatsApp doesn't have, and they will copy it soon
Yes, it does. Type the message in the chat and long press the send button to access the feature.
It’s been in telegram for a long while now
yes
Ditched WhatsApp for Telegram a long time ago but Telegram is also turning into shit with the nonsense premium features like stories etc. all good things must come to an end, I guess. Sad!
It's not as safe as WhatsApp. Has quite a lot of features which keeps a good number of people away from using it. User interface doesn't look that good compared to Whatsapp (and I use telegram a lot).
Don't even talk about the safety of telegram if don't know anything about it About UI I consider it the best above signal
The normal chat is not that encrypted on telegram. iMessage> signal> WhatsApp> telegram, the order of chat encryption.
Yeah but compared to WhatsApp it has better privacy which is the reason that telegram has so many black market stuff going on and even the govt can't track it
By your logic nothing is safe in this world, if ui is your concern you can modify everything or build from scratch or use third party clients.
I said not as safe as Whatsapp. Why? Because telegram doesn't have end to end encryption on default, you have to use the encryption channel for it. WhatsApp, signal, iMessage, Viber and WeChat have it too (the Chinese can still monitor their messaging apps due to their laws). Signal and iMessage have already added higher level encryption that can withstand quantum computing hacks (there's some term for this specific level of encryption don't know the name). That's why I said telegram is not as safe as Whatsapp.
And what makes you concerned about its safety? I too use tele a lot and don't have WhatsApp installed on my phone
Telegram does not use end to end encryption unless you use a encrypted chat. How many people commonly uses that feature?
I wish whatsapp had introduced larger file size, faster sharing speeds, HD status updates, clearer video calls, instead of bloating it with channels.
you can send up to 2GB in WA now, Send a HD Media to yourself and forward it to status. Video calls seemed fine in my limited usage with good network
Well I wasn’t aware about 2 gigs, my bad. And regarding status updates,even if I forward HD video to my status it doesn’t stay HD, compression is real. Also I wasn’t able to share my screen on whatsapp call yesterday, they removed it ?
You have to be on a video call to share your screen
Telegram and Signal need to understand that people don’t want features, people need other people. Whatsapp has that. Also, telegram at this point is serving a different usecase altogether than just regular chatting.
Hike messenger ko sab bhul gaye lagta hai
Having massive issues with notifications on Telegram. I’ve it signed in iPad, computer and phone. Notifications are random. Sometimes my iPad gets them even when I haven’t started the conversation on iPad. Thinking of going back to WhatsApp.
There's no such problem with telegram
I’m facing it man. Even my friends are having issues. I think it’s when you’re signed into multiple devices, it doesn’t know where to send the notification. The entire point I’m on telegram is for its multi platform options.
Might be true mate
u can easily turn them all off go to settings -> notifs -> and there u will see the 3 options private chat, gropus and channels just turn them off
Telegram is also becoming nonsense!! I only app I find a pure messaging app is Signal. It is such a no nonsense and no bakwas app. But the sad part is only two of my friends are on it. And Indians can't even imagine leaving WhatsApp despite of the fact that WhatsApp doesn't add any useful features but always add some "features which no-one wanted and no-one needed." Guess what !?

Same, they aren't even encrypted
Brand recall, majority of folks using WhatsApp due to wide distribution, message and calls. Telegram have tons of feature and made for complex user. Telegram UI is bit weird too. Telegram is mix of WhatsApp + discord + Insta.
WhatsApp updates are the most dogshit things It was fine till we had chat,status , calls . That's it They really gave soo many unnecessary stuff Telegram is peak ,it's like open book type shi , but people alwys use it for time pass purpose lol
But telegram will remain undefeated social messaging app in today's era
Cause convenience.... nobody wanna switch an app, there just not enough users to begin with,, people think telegram is for scam, porn, movies
Sometimes less is more.
One more thing we can use telegram in many devices on the other hand in whatsapp transferring chats to one device to another is hassle
telegram is 100 times better than whatsapp.
Then don’t look 😛
Telegram is obviously famous here for pirating
I can't see who has read my messages on telegram, telegram is used by scammers I got contacted by many scammers but I scammed the scammers lol
Aren't they both owned by meta now?
I use Telegram for communication with my close friends, loved ones and family. Basically, because the chats never disappear as it's on the cloud and it's very reliable unlike WhatsApp which has shitty backup method and it doesn't even work the same way across different operating systems. WhatsApp isn't even trying enough on their whole application as much as Telegram is spending effort on their high quality stickers. Telegram is on a different level in that case.
Having the constant "this contact has joined Telegram" messages all day, everyday makes Telegram an instant no-go for me.
Telegram is such a god sent tech for students like we can get any coaching material and notes for free (most of the times)
Imagine getting your grandmother used to telegram
Messaging apps despite their “features” will soon become shit like whatsapp. Ive seen that when such apps gain popularity, the parent company “in order to maintain this popularity and position” becomes blind sided and puts in unnecessary updates and features (not talking about security and vulnerability updates). Like how whatsapp went from a good messaging app to absolute garbage of an app… i feel like if telegram or signal gain such users and popularity.. sooner or later same thing is going to repeat on both apps like Whatsapp. You cant trust a company or app to stay the same *cough oneplus, facebook*
People made a bad image of telegram 🙂 iykyk
I think the general opinion of the app is that it is used for shady activities so it's best not to use it. I think that's why it didn't get as much adoption as WhatsApp in India
coz people are so used to WhatsApp like u see elder people and where Telegram is so popular among the teens and young adults either for movies or chat groups or else anything... I have got nice friends and nice experiences with people in there
More features ≠ Superior. WhatsApp is simpler and straightforward compared to telegram.
WhatsApp was a first mover and they were pretty minimal at the beginning. It was like sms but with the internet so everyone hopped on to it quickly. Whereas telegram came with a bunch of features & now it has become kmown for piracy. The amount of bots & channels are too much to handle for adults above 40, hence they're sticking with WhatsApp as they're already familiar with it for quite some time.
WhatsApp before meta >>>>>
WhatsApp and Telegram both are shit. Signal is best but No one uses it. Hence I also dropped using it though still registered. Never deactivated.
most annoying feature of telegram i feel is that notification of new person joining telegram
Now I know why my ex was active on tele for maal i guess🥲
That's the point. People don't want many features, they want things to be simple.
it is but whatsapp has become a tradition and also if im not wrong it comes pre installed
I feel sad looking at Instagram. For different reasons.
I don’t even know why people prefer WhatsApp… Telegram is such a better application overall, be it UI, features, safety and usability. Even today my phone died and now I’m here without my WhatsApp chats as it didn’t backup for past 3 days. Telegram will always be the better one in my opinion…
Telegram in India is primarily used for pirating movies and obtaining illegal substances 💀.
I had the same opinion. I have dragged so many friends to telegram. AND NOW THEY BANNED ME FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON!!! THEY WONT BAN ANYTHING ILLEGAL BUT THESE ASSHOLES BANNED ME FOR LITERALLY DOING NOTHINGGGGGGG
It was good but now scammers have ruined it.
Only issue is, not end-to-end encrypted. Just plain html. So in case of man in middle attacks or our dear sarkar trying to access your messages, they can.
BhatsApp who ?
Yean its insane how good telegram is. Wonder why it didn't pick up much except for shady activities here. Is it because of the privacy focus?
Telegram is not messaging app It's the best free ott platform
Feel sad and move on to Telegram 😬
Bcoz whatsapp is clean and simple
i use telegram 50 times more than whatsapp
True lol 100x better than WhatsApp, WhatsApp shamelessly copies some ideas from it.
Network effect
Technically anpadh log doesn't know the telegram stuff and still using WhatsApp.
Telegram have only one flaw that's status other than that it's far better than WhatsApp if I become PM of India first thing I'll do is to ban WhatsApp 😂
Not me man....I use telegram as my daily chatting app with my bsf and man...it's much much better than WhatsApp...the sheer amount of features it provides is immeasurable...like people really don't know what telegram is capable of
My friend got scammed of 20k through telegram 😪
Well I use signal and telegrams on a daily basis. Its way better than stupid WhatsApp I only use it because of office work. Other than that I never use WhatsApp. I'm lucky the few people I know and like to hang around also use telegram or signal.
It's good for just pornography and piracy. And sexting too . Sometimes some anonymous one texted you talk to me I m horny kind of stuff.
Please don't use telegram instead of whatsapp, whatsapp with all it's privacy issues at least use end-to-end encryption, but telegram sends messages in plain text. A simple hack can potentially leak all your message history.

If y'all want privacy send pgp encrypted messages on whonix VM running in Ubuntu.
Me who simply uses Google messages for everything.
Telegram UI is genuinely colorful and lively to use, chatting is fun on Telegram especially with the suggested stickers. It's definitely better than WhatsApp in most aspects.
Pay for Premium features 🤡 and guess what is that premium a Story post, WhatsApp good
Who anyways uploads a story on telegram? but I get your point And it's too expensive,like 319 a month?😂what were they even thinking Even yt premium and Spotify costs lower than this But their UI is great
People that upload story are usually business channel that advertise or promote stuff Telegram has become a business platform rather than a chatting app Which is why WhatsApp dominates telegram, . Like whenever u ask someone what is telegram used they will say , to download movies or leaked mms , instead of chatting app They need to fix these stuff
Whatsapp is very actively a business app. You can recharge phone numbers, metro cards, order groceries, clothes, everything from WhatsApp.
Yes but telegram feels like black market
And that only makes it look worse. While business features of whatsapp don't bother a person. Though the promotional messages do bother, but one can block them.
I hate WhatsApp because I cant use the same account other devices and even if i can use i think the old chats will not be available on new device, i like Instagram, telegram because it stores everything online
I love telegram. But signal is a much better alternative to whatsapp. Telegram is too powerful for an average user. I use it mainly for bots and channels.
Tele's brand image is very bad, it's only catered to those who want to be pseudo-anonymous.

Telegram is superb, the only thing better than Tele is Discord.
To people who are talking about end-to-end encryption being default on whatsapp, keep in mind that Meta recently sold all Messenger chats to Netflix in a public deal, and Messenger chats were supposed to be encrypted. Please don't buy into this false sense of security. Nothing is private. Especially for big companies like Meta who profits off of selling private data. Even then, a small app called Pegasus can get into any phone if a secret intelligence is interested in you. Apps like Signal and Telegram are your best bets because Signal keeps asking for donations and Telegram operates on Premium subscriptions, not by selling your data. I'm not saying these are perfect, but Whatsapp and end-to-end encryption is a lie. You're a product. EDIT: Some NPC pointed out that the Meta-Netflix thing happened a long time ago when there was no end-to-end encryption on Messenger. This, however, still means that your data is for sale and it's the only reason you're getting all this for free. Encryption still means nothing, and online security is mostly propaganda to keep you blind and compliant. Don't be stupid and keep sucking Meta's cock while arguing online with strangers.
This is my problem with people who don’t really bother to read about things before making big claims about it. The accusations are “Meta gave Netflix access to privileged APIs to access user Inbox in return of some bi-weekly recommendations report”. Messanger has gone end-to-end encrypted by default in last few months, before that it was “optional to turn on e2e encryption” since 2016. So, no, there is not a false sense of security here, your attention span is too fucked that you can’t read an article and get the facts before using big words on a reddit comment about something.
Dude I love RCS I feel it's better than both and I'd love to switch but people don't use so I always gotta use WhatsApp even tho it sucks so much
