The latest reports from WhatsApp after what happened was to postpone the update 3 months until May 15th! The story started when WhatsApp Beta users reported a new update coming before February 8th, where WhatsApp new terms about sharing information with Facebook must be accepted before the 8th of February, or your account will be deleted. This information will be used to improve Facebook ads, but WhatsApp denies sharing sensitive information like your location and your phone number. Now everyone is switching to Telegram and Signal.. But now the main competitor for WhatsApp is Telegram, with over 500 million downloads on play store alone, getting over 25 million users in just three days after the update news. But now I’ll let you know which one is better overall!

If you have a strong mobile internet connection, you will get awesome call quality  on whatsapp, as it  requires  a  low data usage to call  someone. So it is a very good feature in WhatsApp. Another cool feature is  informing the sender about the delivery and reads the status of the other user in a timely manner.The most important point is that WhatsApp uses end to end encryption everywhere. Telegram uses it only for secret chat.

As  for Telegram,  it provides unlimited storage, which means that  all of your text messages, images, media files & documents will be saved on their cloud. You can log out and log in any number of times from any number of devices simultaneously without losing any data, you don’t need to worry about backup & restore. You can view the active sessions and see on which devices are you logged in now. Thereby, you can download any file any time anywhere. We can add that  you can communicate with anyone on telegram even if you don't have their phone number. . This ensures the privacy of the user’s contact number. Also, channels  can group up to two hundred thousand members. It can contain bots:  a bot is a piece of program which is based on AI and machine learning at a small level. It can perform various tasks. Popular bots are Image bot, sticker bot, gif bot. Telegram is available on  Android, IOS, windows phone, windows pc, Mac OS, Linux OS and even on  any browser. Secret chat is a kind of end to end encrypted chat in which one can set a self-destruct timer. There is no possibility to hack. 

As per my experience, Telegram is better than WhatsApp in many ways. . But will you depend on a company that does not  intend any profit,  and that relies on donations?
