WhatsApp and Telegram are basically the same thing, these two applications use a phone number as identification, they also make it easy to chat in groups, share videos and pictures.
In this article, Seosuneo will review what are the advantages and disadvantages of Telegram compared to WhatsApp:
1. Message Security
Unlike WhatsApp, which sends messages through the server, Telegram actually encrypts messages sent by its users with the Secret Chat feature. Messages sent via Telegram will not be known by the server, because they can be encrypted and can only be read by the recipient.
Messages sent via Telegram can also be equipped with a self-destruct feature, so messages can disappear within a certain period. In addition, if the message recipient takes a screenshot of the message we send, there will be a notification to the sender of the message.
2. Completeness of Features.
Officially equipped with a voice call feature, more and more people are making voice calls via WhatsApp, this is the only thing that Telegram lacks. However, Telegram still has other advantages over WhatsApp. On Telegram, we can send different types of files, be it text documents, zip files, or any file. Interestingly, the limit for files that can be sent via Telegram is up to 1.5 GB
3. User Privacy
As is known, WhatsApp is the first messenger application service to introduce a method of adding contacts directly from the user's phone number. This means that every user who registers their phone number on WhatsApp will be automatically contacted by other people who also use WhatsApp.
