Telegram is just actually superior in terms of features I don’t get it.

    Personally? Because telegram feels dodgier than WhatsApp. At least I can trust WhatsApp enough around security. If I really want to upgrade my privacy or freedom, I would have chosen either Matrix, Signal or Session.

      Funny how Mark Zuckerberg himself was found out using Signal over his own messaging app. Raises some suspicions, doesn’t it?

      It’s not like you had any privacy with a messaging app that is owned by Meta to begin with for you to be able to upgrade it in the first place. When not even the owner of WhatsApp uses WhatsApp, I find it unreasonable why anyone else would want to use WhatsApp. Like, its owner doesn’t use it for a reason that is bad enough to make him use Signal over his own messaging app which apparently “respects” privacy.

        Not much difference because both signal and WhatsApp use the same protocol and encryption.
