That WhatsApp vs Telegram user comparison is interesting... nearly everyone in my social group uses Telegram, I don't think I've ever even installed WhatsApp. I know WhatsApp has significantly more users worldwide, but for whatever reason my tribe has chosen Telegram.


Whereabouts are you based? I'm UK - I think WhatsApp benefitted from a significant foothold before Telegram came along. Hard to disrupt that now.


Which is strange because as your tribe expands they'll interact with WhatsApp users. I bet you will eventually all use whatsapp.


I use both.

They are both great and with modern smartphones having both installed is no problem.

Whatsapp is a bit more secure by default it seems and Telegram keeps adding and improving features monthly it seems.

I love both of them and have my inlaws on T and my stubborn family on W.
