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.
So what do you guys think? Whatsapp or Telegram?

Lol whatsapp is different it's the better one for me

Whatsapp is way mature!! Though haven't used telegram.. just don't give in to hype..

I prefer whatsgram

Why are these people trying to force this telegram upon us?

in terms of how it was built.. I love whatsapp
but in terms of group,,, I prefer telegram

I can't say. Never used telegram, but i love whatsApp very much though it's currently being messed up with this new snapchat feature.

Whatsapp.... The only crazy thing I hate about it is one being unable to cancel a sent text before delivery. I have sent a wrong text to the wrong person so many times. Just crazy.

Olodo

Telegram is the best!!!

Their group chat can accommodate upto 5k user than WhatsApp which is 256 max.

It has a bot than can manage your group while Admin is offline. It can welcome new members, warn, kick, ban etc to members that spam or flood the group chat.

It has very interesting and funny stickers, emoji, gifs, which brings liveliness to chats.

You can edit and remove sent messages.

You can remove messages sent by group users from the group chat

You can transfer all types of files even application, movies etc.

It has useful channels for movies , music, applications etc.

You can pin messages for all members to see on a group.


and more...

Op is an itel marketer..........that's y he's announcing dat he's using itel s31...........as if any body asked him.

For now WhatsApp
but Telegram has seemingly better features.

WhatsApp is 256 per group
While
Telegram is upto 5000 per group

what is a telegram?

Whatsapp 100 times

2go

If more people would just install telegram on their mobile, i will ditch Whatsapp for sure. But sadly, only 2% of my contact uses telegram thereby forcing me to remain on Whatsapp chains. Telegram is cool with amazing features. You can even have your own bot. The groups capacity is also something to envy. Try telegram, it's awesome!

Whatsapp

Famouson:
What's Telegram please?

Na google get that answer

What
is whatsapp?

sistar007:
WhatsApp is 256 per group
While
Telegram is upto 5000 per group

That's an unnecessary feature if you ask me. Why would 5000 people want to be on a group?
