Why everyone should switch to Telegram messenger app
WhatsApp Messenger is the giant in instant messaging space, but if there’s one competitor that comes close to matching its experience, it has to be Telegram. So it is very obvious everyone is comparing WhatsApp against telegram and that what we deliberating on as well. Without wasting much time let’s find out which messenger that offer better services.
Both WhatsApp and Telegram are essentially very similar services at the core, as they let you send text, media among other files with ease. Whatsapp can offer a lot such as Whats App call with low data usage mode, Read receipts i.e., WhatsApp brings you detailed info when it comes to messages like read receipts, time when a message was read, and more, Backup Chats i.e. WhatsApp has had the ability to backup chats since forever but it recently enhanced the feature by bringing Google Drive integration, Status i.e. You can put status messages on your profile in WhatsApp, which can be viewed by anyone in your contacts list, Format text i.e. WhatsApp recently introduced the ability to format books, which is a pretty cool feature. You can now format texts in Bold, Italics and strike through text
So what is unique and better about Telegram
v Secret Chat
Telegram’s secret chat feature lets you have a conversation with end-to-end encryption among other security options. There are notifications for screenshots taken, and you can’t forward a message from a secret chat. You can also set a self-destruct timer, which will destruct your messages after a specified time. Then if someone is looking for a secure messaging experience, telegram got you covered
v Allow you Share different types of files up to 1.5 GB
Telegram has the ability to send almost any type to include PDF, zip, etc. that is up to about 1.5GB unlike WhatsApp that is just 160MB
v Multi-device access
Thanks to its cloud-based sync feature, Telegram supports multi-device sessions so you can start chatting on one device and continue it on another. All the messages too are synced between devices in real time, so it’s quick and efficient. You can even check your active sessions in the app to know the devices in which your Telegram account might be active. Telegram also a web app available on the Chrome Web Store and since it’s open-source in nature, there are third party Telegram apps available as well
v Better groups and public channels
Telegram includes good super groups, which can hold up to 1000 members along with cool public as well as private channels. Channels are essentially broadcasting to a larger audience, and it can hold unlimited members. When you send a message through a channel, the message is sent through the channels name. A public channel has its own username and can be searched & joined by any Telegram user. A user can even send mute messages in channels along with the ability to edit sent messages.
V Telegram Bots
Telegram Bots are basically Telegram accounts created to do certain tasks. Every bot comes with its own set of commands and features. For instance, the @Pollbot can be used to create polls in groups, @Storebot comes in handy if you want to search for more cool bots. There are tons of different & useful bots available on Telegram bot store, or you can search for bots directly from the app as well.
V Stickers
Another good thing about Telegrams is that supports stickers. The app lets you create your very own stickers through the @Stickers bot unlike WhatsApp
· Lock chats and Ability to hide last seen for particular contact
One great feature that I like about Telegram lock chats and hide your last seen is the ability to hide your last seen for everybody and also for particular contacts. So instead of hiding your last seen for everybody, you can decide to hide for a single contact or more. Telegram also allow locking your chats with a passcode so that no one will access your personal messages.
V-Edit Your Messages and Mention People
Ever wanted to edit the message you just sent? It’s a great feature that is in Telegram whereby we can edit our sent messages. You can simply press hold on a message you have sent and hit the “Edit” icon to start editing the text. The edited messages will have an edited banner on them.
V Security
Moreover, Telegram now lets you mention people in groups, so you’ll get a notification if someone mentions you in a group even if you have muted that group.Telegram, on the other hand, is based on MTProto Mobile protocol and brings end-to-end encryption with “Secret chats.” It also has the cool self-destruct feature and notifications to users when a screenshot is taken by the recipient. Anyone can check the app’s source code, API
To sum things up, Telegram has more feature-rich, but WhatsApp has more users and offers a more great experience. Then if your friends are looking for a new and better destination to troll each other, surely, Telegram is the best alternative available right now.
