The Telegram messaging platform, which many blogs have special affection for, has become for a while now in the main messaging application among users who spend long hours sitting in front of the computer, thanks to the different applications available for Mac and Windows, as well as having a web version, an iPad version ...
Every time in Actualidad iPhone hablamos de Telegram, no lo hacemos porque nos paguen ni nada por el estilo, lo hacemos simplemente porque consideramos que una aplicación de mensajería tan buena como es Telegram should be present on all smartphones thanks to the compatibility it offers us with almost all the existing platforms on the market.
Pavel Durov's messaging application has taken advantage of the Mobile World Congress that is being held these days in Barcelona to announce that they have reached the figure of 100.000.000 million active users. The growth rate of this application is 350.000 users every day, which translates into about 10 million new users every month, a figure that is far from the numbers we offered you a few days ago on WhatsApp, but which is gradually becoming a very valid alternative to the messaging giant.
WhatsApp currently has a solid base of one billion active users, being the undisputed king in this type of application. In second position we find Facebook Messenger closely but with less growth than its older brother. A few weeks ago WhatsApp announced that the application has returned to be free as when it reached the market on other platforms, because in the App Store it cost 0,99 euros at the beginning although it later became free. Facebook wants to turn WhatsApp into a communication channel between companies and clients, a path that more than one user will not like because it will involve abuse by the brands of this communication channel.
I am obliged to use wasap because all my family and friends are there, but I'm almost always on the computer so I use the web version, and the truth is that I don't like it at all, it makes me scan a QR code every time I open the browser In addition, the messages are sent through the mobile and it has to be always connected, consuming battery and data, in addition to sometimes taking a long time to send them, in short, all these things do not happen with the Telegram Desktop application, which always works and Well, I also use it, but I only have two cats there, one of them is a very important cat with whom I have a lot of communication so just for that and just for that and its advantages, it is worth using Telegram.
I don't like it, but because you don't install telegram on your smartphone or on your PC, there is both a web and a native desktop program and the contact you have via telegram you speak there, it's just convenience.
WhatsApp is an obsolete protocol, it can never be multi-device, you are left without a smartphone and you cannot contact anyone, instead telegram you have a web and desktop to solve the problem, «your own experience»
