Which is The Best Messaging App, WhatsApp or Telegram?

Considering the facts that we have a lots of chatting application in which I know  but I’ll like to base my assertion on just this two applications WhatSapp and Telegram. Some users prefers the former to the later, while some people haven’t even heard of Telegram before. But Telegram is one of the best messaging applications in the world.



Do you know that?
*  Telegram allow up to 5000 members in a group while WhatsApp only allows 250

*WhatsApp don´t tell you if contacts on your address book have joined WhatsApp for the first time.

* Telegram notifies you the first time a user has activated its account.

* Telegram has cool emoji’s and stickers more than WhatsApp

*  You can make free video call and chats on Telegram but not possible on WhatsApp at the moment

File Sharing - Telegram offers up to 1GB of uninterrupted data transfers between users. So almost any document, media or any kind of file (PDFs and other office or common "desktop" used formats) can be shared among Telegram. While WhatsApp only allow 16MB of interrupted file sharing.




Secret Chat - You can securely pass a sensitive information on telegram with self-destruct timer while you can’t do that on WhatsApp.

-On-device support
WhatsApp lacks of on-device support. They "outsource" support to your mobile carrier.
Telegram has an on-device support chat (go to Settings — Ask a question) where developers answer any question or enquiry (not on a real time basis, but useful).

-Unwanted "default" options:
WhatsApp has a default status message: “Hey there! I am using WhatsApp.”
Telegram has nothing by default.

-Architecrure:
WhatsApp is susceptible to hacks and attacks. And their security measures are just no match for Telegram.



The makers of Telegram are so confident about its security that they offer a $200,000 prize to anyone who can break into MTProto, the backbone of Telegram platform.
