The year is 2015 and gone are the days where people relied on MSN and Yahoo as their messenger services. Everything is mobile now and in the world of smartphones, this is dominated by Whatsapp. Now, there is a newcomer called Telegram and we are going to see if it is better.
In terms of security, Telegram is far ahead of Whatsapp. The latter is at higher risk of getting hacked or attacked. Telegram security is so great that the developer has placed a $20,000 bounty to anybody that can hack on Telegram’s MTProto communication system.
Then again, the disadvantage to Telegram is with its popularity. Whatsapp has established itself as the number one messenger in the world. This means that Telegram users will face a tough time in communicating with their friends, unless the entire circle agreed on switching to the new app.
When it comes to functionality, both Telegram and Whatsapp are identical. They both offer group chats, private chats and more importantly, they are free of ads.
Judging from the above, it is obvious that Telegram is the winner in this contest. As such, we highly encourage you to switch over to Telegram and spread the word.
