WhatsApp vs Telegram Comparison
- 05/01/2022

WhatsApp and Telegram are two of the most popular messaging apps in the world. They both have a lot of features in common, but there are also some key differences between them. Here are five of the most important differences:
1. Security
Telegram is more secure than WhatsApp. It uses a system called “end-to-end encryption”, which means that messages can only be read by the people who send and receive them. WhatsApp does not use this system, which means that messages can be read by WhatsApp employees or by law enforcement agencies if they have a warrant.
2. Group Chats
WhatsApp allows groups of up to 256 people, while Telegram allows groups of up to 500 people.
3. File Size
WhatsApp limits the size of files that can be sent to 16 MB, while Telegram's ceiling is at 2GB.
4. Media Sharing
WhatsApp allows you to share photos, videos and documents, while Telegram allows you to share photos, videos, documents and stickers.
5. Popularity
WhatsApp is more popular than Telegram and has a way larger user base.
Conclusion
Overall, WhatsApp is a more basic messaging app than Telegram, but it is also more popular and easier to use. Telegram is more secure and has more features, but it is not as widely used as WhatsApp.
