Nothing spoil. Just go and buy Samsung note 10 plus or iphone XI. I am 100% sure that whatsapp is supported on both.

Thanks!!

I'm surprised Microsoft went under in this area like this!

Well, still a fan.. [of Windows|Nokia]..
I'd pick up a Nokia 2.3 this week.

Nokia 2.3 good phone, am using it.

If only you were following the news, you would have known that this occurance was announced way back and notice was given before now.

USE TELEGRAM JOOR

Now, this is supposed to be my personal opinion based on my usage of both the Instant Messaging applications.

The choice here is purely personal and according to what you think is the better choice for you.

So, I would just put forth a brief idea about the features of Telegram and how it stacks against WhatsApp, the most popular IM out there.


User Base -
This is somewhere Telegram is far behind WhatsApp at the moment, but is growing steadily. WhatsApp has had far more years of experience and development than Telegram did. Telegram is new to the IM scene, and it entered the market at a time when WhatsApp was ruling the Instant Messaging game and brought about a revolution of free-of-cost text messaging. Another reason is that people resist change and see it as being negative. They only follow what their peers use and hence Telegram lacks the user base and market share WhatsApp currently enjoys.

Availability-
Telegram is available over most of the operating platforms people use. You can use Telegram on Android, iOS and even on Windows Phones. It has dedicated applications for Windows OS, MacOS and Linux as well.

WhatsApp lacks behind in such wide range of availability on different platforms.

Cross Platform Usage -
Now this has got to be the best feature about Telegram.

Telegram is totally cloud based IM application. They use a login based system to get into your account and everything syncs to your device including your chats, photos, videos and contacts as well.

Another great feature is that you can simultaneously login to your account over different devices all at the same time.

So you can leave a conversation on your phone and continue that on your work PC or laptop.

You have a dedicated menu option to view all your active Telegram sessions on different devices. This is to provide extra security and to be aware of the devices currently logged into your account. You can terminate any session from inside this menu.

This marvelous feature is something WhatsApp does not provide.

Privacy -
Privacy settings on Telegram are some of the best ones I have seen around on IMs.

Furthermore, Telegram associates an account with a phone number as well as an username. So if you're not sure about giving someone your personal phone number, you can just share your username to connect and stay in touch, while the other person would never get to know your cell number (unless you decide to tell them yourself)

Somewhat extra privacy, that is not available to WhatsApp users.

Groups, Supergroups & Channels
WhatsApp does not even compare to the groups and channels that are provided by Telegram. You can join by an invite or a specified link. There are supergroups with max user limit of 5000 (WhatsApp doesn't even compare). Then there are channels, which broadcasts content over to the members of the particular channel, the content varies from news, memes, videos, movies (HD), music, TV shows and much more. You can download any of the above content from a channel. (Admins of the channel take full advantage of the sweet file sharing capabilities on Telegram)

File Sharing
Telegram has better file sharing capabilities than WhatsApp (by a huge margin). The photos you share are not highly compressed and pixelated (like WhatsApp does). There are no limits on video file sizes. Hence, channels broadcast movies in HD quality, which you can download.

Taking advantage of the cloud system Telegram is based on, you can download a particular file multiple times, on multiple platforms if you want.

WhatsApp doesn't allow this - once you delete a photo or video, there is no way to re-download it.

Secret Chats (end-to-end encryption)
Using a cloud based messaging service meant that Telegram could not offer end-to-end encryption, like WhatsApp does. They addressed this issue by introducing Secret Chats, which provide end-to-end encryption. These chats have self destructing messages and no content is saved on the cloud. So if you log out of a device, the chat would be lost forever.

Artificial Intelligence based Bots
Telegram has bot-support. So, developers can publish their bots and people can use them for stuff like fetching weather info, news headlines and even play games.

Pretty cool feature (although, needs a lot of work and development right now)

However, there are certain features like Voice Calling and Video Calling on WhatsApp which trump out Telegram. The reason is simple, WhatsApp had enough time to develop and improve their application, Telegram is new and just launched it's voice calling feature.

The thing to note is that, Telegram is growing at such an enormous pace even with such huge competition from world leading IM WhatsApp, recently acquired by a deep pocket MNC - Facebook.

In my opinion, Telegram is far better than any IM out there. I would place my bets on Telegram to put WhatsApp behind in a few years.

Telegram is going to leave WhatsApp in the dust.

WhatsApp actually copies all its updates from telegram, always playing catch up to Telegram with every major update.

Maybe cos u forgot to close the window n the app flew out

Hahaha hahahaha. Werey

Window phone is rather obsolete. Mind you, iPhone running on iOS 7 or less and Android phones running on Android 2.3.7 or less are also affected. Time to settle for a phone that runs a cool operating system or just get a side phone to run WhatsApp while you still retain the window one.

axglide:
They even extended the period to Jan. 14th 2020, it was meant to be Dec, 31st, 2019

yeah you're right

slimdamatrix1:
I have telegram but I use it only for work.

I dunno about leaving WhatsApp in the dust. Telegram is kinda boring and rather serious, which isn't actually a bad thing. Like I said, I use it only for work.

Telegram is the Best IM in the world right now. It will leave whatsapp in the Dust.
What happened to 2go, BBM and the likes?

micxwell:
Wonderful bro. Thanks for writing this here. I don't use Telegram but recently I'm beginning to dislike WhatsApp. Facebook Inc will kill the app eventually.

Since they bought whatsapp it been one crazy function to the other. Telegram is the IM in town.

Ausrichie:
I swear it's even open source why I don't use it is because a lot of people don't use it.

Lol! One feature I like the that you can't get the person number except the person give it to you. Lovely app.

danjalingo:

Honestly. I hate all those new functions. Funny enough they've refused to add those functions that has and is still favouring the use of the moded versions of WhatsApp...

It's actually the other way around, Whatsapp ends support for Window phones...The reason is simple, it boils down to the revenue....there aren't enough window phone users to support Whatsapp staff writing and maintain codes for a dead or dying (depending of your perspective) OS.

Get an Android phone, and don't get old ones....an support for old OS versions is also limited or non, also check google for whatsapp supported OS and versions.
