But it makes up for it by bringing really unique features that are not found on WhatsApp.

That said, Telegram lacks video calling feature. I also love the voice call feature here which works quite well. Other than that, unlike WhatsApp, Telegram can be used on multiple platforms at once, so you can start texting on your phone and then continue it on your PC. The bots not only bring you important info on the go but there are several game bots that let you play games inside the messaging app. Then, there are Telegram Bots, which really enhance the experience. Along with the usual messaging features that both WhatsApp and Telegram pack, the latter brings other features like super groups of up to 100,000 people, public channels, usernames, ability to share files of up to 1.5 GB, pass code lock, self-destructing messages and end-to-end encryption in secret chat among other things. The open-source messaging app is still the best WhatsApp alternative out there.

Telegram Messenger has been known as the best WhatsApp competitor for a while now and nothing’s changed.
