iffa hear..... just because you know abt Telegram doesn't mean that your friends and Family do. I can bet you 90% of N Nigerians don't use Telegram despite its features. so everyone will just stick to what they know...... That's WhatsApp.

datz 9ja 4 u but telegram is better than whatsapp

Telegram is the best.

I use both but would have loved telegram over whatsapp if I had many known people on it as I do on whatsapp.

Whatsapp

WhatsApp Messenger is a freeware , cross-platform and end-to-end encrypted instant messaging application for smartphones . It uses the Internet to make voice calls, one to one video calls; send text messages , images, GIF , videos, documents, user location, audio files, phone contacts and voice notes to other users using standard cellular
mobile numbers .

It also incorporates a feature called Status, which allows users to upload photos and videos to a 24-hours-lifetime feed that, by default, are visible to all contacts; similar to Snapchat , Facebook and Instagram Stories.

WhatsApp Inc. , based in Mountain View, California , was acquired by Facebook in February 2014 for approximately US$ 19.3 billion. By February 2016, WhatsApp had a user base of over one billion, making it the most popular messaging application at the time.

Telegram

Telegram is a free cloud -based instant messaging service. Telegram clients exist for both mobile ( Android , iOS, Windows Phone , Ubuntu Touch ) and desktop systems ( Windows , macOS , Linux ).

Users can send messages and exchange photos, videos, stickers, audio, and files of any type. Telegram also provides optional end-to-end-encrypted messaging.

Telegram is supported by Russian entrepreneur Pavel Durov it's client code is open-source software , whereas its server-side code is closed-source and proprietary. The service also provides APIs to independent developers. In February 2016, Telegram stated that it had 100 million monthly active users, sending 15 billion messages per-day.

The security of Telegram has faced notable scrutiny; critics have argued that Telegram's security model is undermined by its use of a custom-designed encryption protocol that has not been proven reliable and secure, and by not enabling secure conversations by default. Telegram has also faced criticism for its wide-scale use by the terrorist organization Islamic State .

Whatsapp is more popular than Telegram though, at least here in Nigeria, but am thinking of trying Telegram on my itel S31.
