I use telegram mainly for it's bots. In my country, the National Institute for Earth Physics will send with 10-20 seconds early a notification via a Telegram Bot when an earthquaqe over 6 degrees on Richter is happening.
Seriously? I can't imagine one single reason why Whatsapp should be better than Telegram. On Telegram there are bots, which are automated accounts, that can do anything for you (I mean anything, for example downloading a video from YouTube, making WolframAlpha queries, managing your shopping list etc. etc.), there are channels (where administrators can send messages to members... sort of like a Facebook page is, but without comments on it), you can send any kind of file up to 1.5GB, there are stickers, GIFs, you can inline query YouTube or Wikipedia... If you are thinking about making a Telegram account, definitely do!

I have telegram but I mostly use whats app since it was all my friends started with and we still use it because it works. We can send images, gifs, videos and audio easily. It was also because we started using it in 2013 when Telegram was just starting out and we hadn't heard of it before. Whatsapp just works and we don't need the bots or stickers.
Hi,
Although WhatsApp is very popular, there are many limitations and Telegram has shown to have very useful features that many of us expect WhatsApp to have and it is better than WhatsApp. The bad thing is that most of my contacts use Whatsapp. Boo...
By the way, there is an interesting app called "Signal", recommended by Snowden for being very safe. I will try it.
Best regards

For private conversation, keeping up with friends and family I go for WhatsApp.
For group communications, followup information etc I go for telegram.
Telegram offers far more options, controls and space in group chats.
The bots and the auto moderation functions like ban spanners etc are amazing.
Personal chat - WhatsApp.
Group chats - Telegram.
When it comes to market share WhatsApp is several times bigger than Telegram.
Thanks.

every time somebody asks me why i use telegram, i say something like: "i am always on my computer, its much more convenient to simply open the desktop program, instead of having to authenticate it, not only that, i hate having to keep my phone connected, my battery drains much faster that way. I also would like to use another devices, but guess what? whatsapp disallows that, you can only have 1 device with your main number."
finally, as many people say: only because something is popular, doesn't means its good.

OK - now you talk my language and have me interested in Telegram. I'm hesitating to use whatsapp too as am worried it will start a flood of communications that I won't have time to attend to. Easier for me to type in desktop mode than a phone. I'm going to check this out.rsaeq said:

I think Telegram is quite a lot better than WhatsApp. Sadly, many people are still using WhatsApp and are not looking to switch. In an ideal world, everyone would switch to another chat app as soon as it gets better than the one they are currently using but that's not the case.
