WhatsApp was the first instant messaging application to reach smartphones and quickly became popular among users. Today it is used by 700 million people. While it is true that WhatsApp is the platform with the largest number of users in both Europe and Latin America, but that it does not mean that it is the best. But man is an animal of habit and it is difficult for him to change when he is comfortable. Next I am going to show you 15 reasons why you should adopt the Telegram messaging application as usual instead of WhatsApp.
Just this morning my colleague Nacho published a post where he reported on the blocking that WhatsApp was making users who are using WhatsApp Plus. For all those users who use this tweak, it may be a good idea to take note of the advantages that Telegram offers compared to WhatsApp. For all the skeptics, there sure is, Telegram has not paid us to publish this article.
- You send videos of any size and duration. Surely on more than one occasion you have wanted to send a video through WhatsApp and the application has told you to cut it or otherwise you cannot send it. The definition for the face that remains has no name. If the video exceeds 16 MB you have to find other alternatives to send your favorite videos (email). The videos that are recorded with the iPhone increasingly occupy more size due to the quality of the devices and this size limitation slows us down when it comes to sharing the videos we record.
- Multiplatform. We can chat from our iPad, Mac, Windows thanks to the synchronization between devices in real time. If, for example, we get home having a conversation with our iPhone and we have no battery left, we can continue with our iPad or with our computer.
- Customize notifications. With Telegram we can configure if we want notifications to vibrate on the device, as well as prevent group notifications from continuously bothering us.
- Secret conversations with self-destructing of messages. Sometimes we want to leave a trace of the conversations we have through our messaging client (then everything is known). With Telegram we can open chats between two people and configure so that messages are automatically deleted after a period of time established by the user.
- Hide our number from the rest of the people in a group. On more than one occasion you have surely been included in a group and you did not know who you were talking to because only the phone number is shown. With this information, anyone in the group can save our phone number and communicate later in any way. With Telegram, only the name of the user and his photograph (if he has it configured) are shown so that if we do not want our phone number to circulate without control, this is the best option.
- Groups of up to 200 people. If a group with 10 people is crazy, with 200 people it is to die for. Today, WhatsApp allows group chats of up to 50 people.
- Send any type of file. While WhatsApp only allows you to send images in jpg format (forget about sending gifs files) Telegram allows us to send from documents in PDF format, to Word files, through spreadsheets, photoshop images…. It has no limitation as to the file format it accepts.
- Integrated image search engine. If we want to search for any image according to the conversation we are having, we can make use of the integrated image search engine that Telegram has without having to visit Safari, save the image and later rescue it from WhatsApp in order to share it.
- Integrated GIFS Search. Yes, Telegram has a GIFS search engine integrated into the application, separate from the image search engine. This allows you to have much funnier and more entertaining conversations than with the typical emoticons of a lifetime.
- Emoticons integrated into Emoji. If you are tired of the typical emoticons and want to use new images, we can go to the emoji keyboard and look for the options that the application offers us for some icons. At the moment there are not many, but from Telegram they assure that they will include many more.
- Quick updates. Telegram was one of the first applications to update the application to the new screen sizes of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. On the other hand, WhatsApp, swinging again, took two months to adapt its app.
- Much faster operation. Despite keeping the conversations updated at all times, the operation of the application when receiving and sending messages is much faster than with WhatsApp.
- Free and without advertising. Unlike WhatsApp, Telegram is completely free and all the platforms on which it is used. In addition, it does not have a sticker store that is continuously sending us notifications so that we can visit it and buy one like Line or Viber.
- Share photos without entering the reel. From the clip that gives us access to the menu to share images, videos, location, files ... we can see the images on our reel without having to close the menu. Faster impossible.
But all these features cannot be used if your friends or family only use WhatsApp. If you have found them enough to change platforms, now you have to convince your friends by sharing this post through WhatsApp (coincidence) if you are reading it from your mobile with the dedicated buttons that you will see at the top of the screen, or through of social networks.
For more reasons…. People will always use WhatsApp more ...
Saying that "you use WhatsApp because it is what your friends use" is almost worse than using WhatsApp because you think it is the best app.
A long time ago, tired of talking to people about the benefits of Telegram and the incredible "shit" of WhatsApp and that this was of no use, I decided to simply cancel my WhatsApp account and uninstall the app.
Since then I ONLY use Telegram, and everyone who wants to talk to me too, because like everyone else they force you to use WhatsApp, I force those who want to talk to me to use Telegram. And if someone closes in on the band and doesn't want to install Telegram, then nothing, I'm not going to force them ... but when they want to talk to me, send me an SMS or call me on the phone ... what I'm not going to do is use a bad one of poor quality, with hundreds of vulnerabilities and that has never cared about its users just because it is what most use ...
Regards,
That is the attitude ... and that is what I have done. If everyone who thinks Telegram is better did the same, the change would be unstoppable. But if you lower your pants and go through the hoop with the garbage from the guasap, then we will continue in the same.
Agree also remember that WhatsApp bought it Facebook and they do with your information whatever they want, it is always good to change
Totally agree and in fact a few months ago I wrote an article similar to your opinion on my blog ... Telegram also consumes a little less battery
It's been a long time since I switched to telegram and my friends when it was bought by Facebook too, so I uninstalled WhatsApp a long time ago. My boss talks to me through iMessage because he has no other choice and at first he does it to my face.
I do not change, I continue with WhatsApp
People do not change because they are very lazy and those who install it again do not know that Telegram exists because their acquaintances use WhatsApp, but Telegram is much better
Depending on how you use WhatsApp, it is fine for a medium profile, but for a more advanced audience in the matter, Telegram is very good!
Totally agree! I love Telegram for all its comforts it offers and that is why you say that I have to use my… .of whatsapp for the people who use it. I wish the servers would crash and you would see how people change automatically and radically.
Because I'm tired of meeting people via the Internet and if you ask for their mobile they tell you that they don't give it to you (for privacy) and I say Telegram and they start saying "what is that?" "I don't use it" because I could pass my Nickname and chat quietly.
The only thing left is to advertise so that people can see at once that Telegram turns WhatsApp around a thousand times.
It is perfect telegram, the best !!!!
Very good post and without a doubt people complain about the application but there are like idiots on WhatsApp
It seems like an old article since many of those reasons can already be done with whatsapp
Add that if iOS was once pampered by WhatsApp now not. Although it was paid, we had the improvements soon. But that is done, it took us a thousand to receive the removal of the status or the photo for people who are not contacts and now the double tick, they have been enjoying it on Android for weeks and here we don't even know. Last minute, the web app for iOS nothing, another one, fuck whatsapp.
Without insult, things are better understood Edgar Olivera !!!!!
It usually happens that the first one who arrives… keeps it !! I have both but hardly any of my contacts have it downloaded.
One reason not to: everyone uses WhatsApp
DO NOT KNOW BECAUSE IN ANY SPANISH WEBSITE THEY MAKE A POST ABOUT THE GOODNESS OF VIBER TO MY SEEM AND CRITERION MUCH BETTER THAN WHATSAPP AND LINE TOGETHER… ..
Check them out and download it
Try it Mariana Gonzalez Rangel
It is exactly as some describe it, it is not used.
The same thing happened with Msn Messenger, existing Skype insisted, and it continues insisting not to use it.
I know people who continue to use it, because it is still operational.
It also happens with Explorer. !!!
Installing any application either on the machine or on the phone is still a task for many cyclops.
I "serve" the iPad for a friend who, after the first updates, decided to stay with IOS 6. "I don't want to have to learn new things, and I don't lose anything." No argument is worth anything, it is still in its thirteen.
Anyway….
Clearer impossible ... 100% agree
It's that simple… .if you don't have telegram I can't communicate with you through instant messaging, just calls or sms… period !!! They don't do the same to you if you don't use Line, etc ...?
Well, I don't use them. there is an app called wechat. it's 10 times better than those two!
I use whatsapp because I have unlimited and all the
world has it
And although it is a correct and well-founded article, the person who has published the news should be reminded that Telegram has a great app for Android, yes, those smartphones that have ruthlessly surpassed iPhones for a long time ...
Let each one use what comes out of their balls!
I agree
Android is disgusting, don't talk bullshit
I just need a reason to use Telegram, privacy. Today I will unsubscribe WhatsApp.
I also deleted my whatsapp account a long time ago, whoever does not want to install telegram has the sms or mail to communicate
I have also deleted my whatsapp account. Anyone who wants to communicate with me will have to use telegram or wait for me to attend to him by other means. by whatsapp never again
Telegram is good, but after having tried allsss, viber, whatsapp, line, kakaotalk, wechat, imo, tango, mypeople, etc etc, I stay a thousand times with Hike Messenger from India
people use what they hear, who has heard of telegram, but without a doubt being similar in normal use, telegram has the advantage that you can use it on a pc or tablet without emulators or strange things, directly like any other pc program.
a ten for telegram and a five for the 'joke'. I cannot comment on the others because I have not used them.
The only way for people to have Telegram is for those of us who are convinced to uninstall WhatsApp once and for all and they can only contact us by Telegram.
I have some friends who would have already uninstalled Telegram if it weren't for the only way to contact me. Because almost everyone has both programs installed. And if we leave WhatsApp installed, why will they also have the Telegram?
Moral: If you are really convinced and you would like everyone to have Telegram ... take off WhatsApp.
They said the same about the Black Berry PIN, tell me who uses it? you have to change
I don't know if you mentioned that telegram is free compared to wasap, which costs an annual subscription.
On the other hand. Telegram saves our attachments and chats in its cloud until we delete it in the conversation. Like photos and documents that we share in chats.
Telegram has added customizable dtickers or stickers. It is very easy to create your own pack or packs and have fun sharing them with friends and acquaintances.
Go to Telegrammmmm jijijij.
The truth totally agree ,,, if people are stupid ... using whatsapp ... when the best of all the app is telegram ... they are ignorant ... they use those that the masses use ... without knowing that there is something superior komo lobes TELEGRAM
It is true, the idea of giving my number to anyone does not seem to me but with Telegram I do not care about that and at first my only contact was my sister who refused to download it and when they asked me not even that I told them I do not use Telegram and now I have many contacts and they all downloaded it for me
It's like what happens with android ... I changed to wp a long time ago since I was with android because everyone used it, I realized that people use it out of habit
Windows phone 10 excellent and with perfect telegram !!
I'M 82 YEARS OLD AND I ASK, WILL IT COST ME TO GET USED TO CHANGE? I AM INTERESTED, THANK YOU
TELEGRAM is much better !! I started by telling my family and they all installed it, then by my friends, my girlfriend and coworkers. Everyone realized how much better TELEGRAM was. Today, I only manage with TELEGRAM, and I uninstalled wsap. Try TELEGRAM, you will not regret it anymore.
My WhatsApp works well for me, I don't switch to telegram, because I have no need and it works for me, those who want to be changed, those who do not want them to stay, and whoever uses both, but it seems to me a lack of Consideration and a lack of respect for those who change to force others to change, that we call them by phone or SMS, as if you were the masters of the universe, but what is this?
