11 Reasons why you should use Telegram instead of WhatsApp

Whatsapp is the most popular social networking app operated by the giant Facebook group. It was one of the acquisition's biggest gulps. It is an accepted fact that the majority of mobile users are Whatsapp messenger users. If there is a Whatsapp delegate, it will possibly be the Telegram. But the freaks, the cult of geeks, prefer Telegram to Whatsapp. About why?

Here are the comparison points.

History

In 2009, Brian Acton and Jan Koum, both former Yahoo! employees, incorporated WhatsApp. As a break from work, the duo traveled to South America after Koum and Acton left Yahoo! in September 2007. They applied for jobs on Facebook at one point but were denied.

Brothers Nikolai and Pavel Durov, who previously founded the Russian social network launched the telegram in 2013.

How is Telegram better than Whatsapp?

1. Unlimited server storage

Unlimited storage is provided by Telegram. This ensures that all your text messages, media files, photos, and documents will be stored on your cloud. Without missing any data, you can log out and log in any number of times from any number of devices simultaneously, you don't have to worry about backup & restore. You will view the active sessions and see which devices you are actually logging in on.

2. Media compression

Users can choose whether to compress the image and video or send the uncompressed version.

3. Group member number capacity

The Telegram's usual community capacity is 200. But when this is done, the group evolves into a 5000-capacity Super Group. (There are some more attributes to a Super Group than a regular group) 

4. Username feature

Even if you do not have the contact number of anyone, you can connect with someone by telegram. This secures the protection of the phone number of the customer.

5. Channels

A channel is somewhat similar to groups, which can accommodate an unlimited number of members. The creator of the channel can decide who can post and other members can view the posts.

6 Multi-platform support

Telegram is available for Android, ios, windows phone, windows pc, Mac os, Linux os and even through any browser.

7. Secret chat

Secret chat is a kind of end to end encrypted chat in which one can set a self-destruct timer. The messages will be automatically deleted when the timer hits. It is possibly not able to hack in any way.

8. Bots

It is a software that is focused on small-scale AI and machine learning. It can accomplish different tasks. An image bot can, for example, retrieve images from a name.

Several kinds of bots exist. Image Bot, Sticker Bot, Gif Bot are common bots.

9. Voice calls

The latest version of telegram supports voice calls.

10. Sends any kind of file

Users can send any kind of file through Telegram. Whatsapp limits video, images & document type files. This is not nice for advanced users.

11. Multiple sessions

Users on telegram can log in on multiple devices at the same time and able to receive messages on all devices.

They can remember their sessions on even browsers too. This is a cool feature.

Pros of Whatsapp

1. Voice & video calls

Unlike Telegram, all voice and video calls are supported by Whatsapp. If you have a good mobile internet connection, you will get an amazing calling quality. Low data use for calling someone is needed. So this is a very interesting point with respect to Whatsapp.

2. Delivery and read notification

Whatsapp informs the sender about the delivery and reads the status of the other user in a timely manner. It is a super cool feature.

3. End to end encryption everywhere

Whatsapp uses end to end encryption everywhere. Telegram uses it only for secret chat.

In my experience, Telegram is quicker than WhatsApp, with many features and great updates on a regular basis. That's why I love it more than WhatsApp. Suppose I can download and watch a friend of mine sends me a pervy pic (which is very rare because not many use it) and yet I don't have to save it in the gallery, thus minimizing the danger of anyone finding it on my mobile.
