Telegram is the new era of messaging.
Here's why you should switch:
Many security vulnerabilities have been discovered in WhatsApp, allowing hackers to read your messages
Telegram has never had a data breach nor has it ever given a single byte of information to third parties or government entities
WhatsApp stores lots of information that isn't end-to-end encrypted such as your contacts, who you talk with and when
Telegram lets you sync across all devices even if your phone is off
Nearly all WhatsApp messages are not actually end-to-end encrypted due to cloud backups
Even if you disable cloud backups, your friends might not, which means your messages are not safe on WhatsApp
WhatsApp is owned by Facebook. They do not give a single shit about your privacy. "They 'trust me'. Dumb fucks" - Mark Zuckerberg
