Today WhatsApp is the most used instant messaging application in the world, although in recent times some of its rivals, among which undoubtedly stand out Telegram, have been getting closer little by little, mainly thanks to features and functions that are not present at the moment in the application owned by the social network Facebook.
Those of us who are Telegram users defend this instant messaging application tooth and nail, mainly because it ensures our security and that of our personal data, and because it also offers us interesting functions and options to get the most out of an application of this kind. Today, whether you are a Telegram user or if you are not yet, we are going to show you 9 reasons why in our humble opinion we believe that Telegram is better than WhatsApp.
Next, you will read as we already told you 9 reasons why we believe that Telegram is better than WhatsApp, although we could almost certainly give you some more. Of course, no one doubts that we could also give you some reason why the instant messaging application owned by Facebook is better than the application of Russian origin, but that at least for now, we will leave it for another article, do not doubt that with total security we will publish it on this same website.
Telegram, a totally free service
Unlike WhatsApp, Telegram is a totally free service And although the instant messaging application owned by Facebook has a very low price, which we must pay annually, it will cost us money that we may not want to pay.
Luckily, the application of Russian origin created by the Durov brothers can be downloaded completely free of charge, without having to pay a single penny to download it or renew the service.
Private conversations, a strong point
The privacy of most instant messaging applications is more than sufficient for most users, but there are some who want to go a step further and do not want their conversations to be exposed to the prying eyes of anyone. That is why Telegram offers us the possibility of creating private chats with which messages between users will be encrypted, without also being forwarded and also leaving no trace on the company's servers.
To start a secret chat, just open the application menu and select the option “New secret chat”. From this moment on you will be able to converse safely and without fear. Of course, you do not want to be clever and skip the rules that we have talked about, and do not take a screenshot since if you do it, the other user with whom you speak will be notified that they are capturing the conversation.
Block users
The possibility of blocking users is present in most instant messaging applications, although we could say that in Telegram it is present in a simpler way. And it is enough to block a specific user so that within the side menu, we access the Settings menu and then the Privacy and security menu.
In this menu we can see the list of blocked users and just by pressing the icon that is a plus symbol (+) we can add new users to this list.
I send videos of any size and duration
Another of the undoubted reasons why we consider Telegram to be better than WhatsApp is the possibility to send videos of any size and duration, something that cannot be done in other applications of this type.
The videos that we record today with our mobile device take up more and more space and when it comes to sending them WhatsApp puts the limitation of 16 MB, with also the disadvantage that the quality and definition drops a lot. With Telegram this problem disappears and we can send any video, whatever its size. Also, if you want to send something other than files, no matter how heavy they are, you won't have any problem either.
Self-destruction of messages or privacy taken to the extreme
In case the possibility of carrying out private chats with other users did not seem safe enough, Telegram also offers you the possibility to enable the option to auto-destroy messages within one of these secret chats. The objective of this function is that there is absolutely no trace of our conversation with another user, and it is that we remember that on the servers of the instant messaging application there is no trace or copy of the messages sent or received.
To make the messages self-destruct, you just have to access the chat menu and select the first option called "Establish self-destruction". In addition, and so that everything is under your control, you will be able to select the time that must pass for the messages to be deleted automatically.
Stickers or unlimited fun
WhatsApp offers us the possibility of sending to other users known as emoticons, which are of course also available on Telegram. In addition, the application of Russian origin also offers us the possibility of sending and enjoying those baptized as stickers.
In case you've never seen Telegram stickers could be described as icons that are much more worked and achieved, which can be downloaded for free and that are available in the thousands in the network of networks. From the minions, through the Star Wars characters and reaching a huge number of politicians, we can enjoy hundreds of fun stickers.
In addition, in case the available stickers do not convince you too much, you can always create your own stickers to use in groups that you share with your friends or with your family.
Go totally unnoticed in any group
The groups of instant messaging applications are in fashion and it is not at all strange that we are immersed in half a dozen groups, in which we would like to go unnoticed and that for example in WhatsApp we can not, since we already reveal our own phone number. This is the same as making it very easy for many users to get our precious phone number that we never give to anyone.
In Telegram to add any user we will not have to know their phone number and it will be enough for you to provide us with your username. In addition, in groups we can go completely unnoticed since our phone number will not be shown at any time, preserving our privacy and above all keeping us away from gossip and moscones that in those groups of the kind of years ago they only want to add you to know if you have succeeded in life like them.
The version of Telegram for PC
If the version of Telegram for mobile devices is undoubtedly one of the best instant messaging applications that currently exist, the PC version is not far behind and offers us practically all the functions and options that we have on our smartphone.
Through the Telegram extension for Chrome or through the web version we can have conversations with our contacts and take advantage of the advantages that, for example, our computer offers us.
Deleting the Telegram account and data is possible
Unlike other instant messaging apps Telegram allows us to completely and completely delete our account, without leaving a trace of our data, conversations or images sent or received.
There are not many users who want to delete their account in these types of applications, but in case it could happen, it is undoubtedly great news that Telegram is a quick and easy process.
Opinion freely
Today in the market there are a huge number of instant messaging applications available, with their positive and negative points. A huge majority of users make use of WhatsApp, but more and more users are inclined to use Telegram or even, as is my case, both, since not yet everyone has the application installed on their smartphone. Russian courier. And it is that to see who convinces my mother that Telegram is better than WhatsApp, with the work that it cost her to dominate the most used messaging application in the world.
If you have never tried Telegram our recommendation cannot be other than try it right now, and it is that although it is safer and offers us greater privacy, there are more important points that you will surely like and convince.

We would also love to hear from you which instant messaging application or applications you currently use.

Telegram better than whatsapp? He is a demagogue. 1000 million users against 40, in short ...
How much do they pay you? Do you know that advertising, even in information format, is mandatory to notify?
Hahaha ,, Merry Christmas
Since when are applications valued by their number of users? ...
Sure, and a Fiat Uno is better than an Audi R8 because more people use it too
#sol
Now I find out that the fact that WhatsApp has 1000 billion users makes it better than Telegram, which "only" has 40 million. Whether one application is better or worse than another will be valued in another way.
By the way, use it and then you talk
All the best
Telegram is super better
poetry security
It seems to be a good application to the point that of my 350 contacts only 1 has this application. Sldes.
Telegram is superior to whatsapp I would like us all to use telegram that we can send more files.
Telegram has almost the same functions as the old ICQ messaging app that, like telegram, is secure
In addition, now there are pages like fotowhatsapp.net in which you can see the profile photo and the status by entering the person's number
When doing this type of post, you should avoid using terms like "the world."
Because to an Asian you tell WhatsApp, and they answer What, what is it?
There dominates the WHAT messaging.
Russia and neighboring countries, precisely Telegram.
Mexico and increasingly Latin America with Wechat.
And if Telegram is better than WhatsApp. Only less well known.
