It sends text to people. Even pictures or videos if needed. What more features would I need?
I don't know anyone that uses telegram. Whatsapp is just the standard, though many people have switched to Signal.
The biggest one for most people would be large files since you can't really do that on WhatsApp. WhatsApp images and video also get deleted after some time where as telegram don't
That's a feature that can be turned off.
Not for me, I've just checked back over 2+ years
Oh that's weird
so you use InternetExplorer? Because it shows webpages, right?
It actually won't show many modern webpages properly anymore.
right? and whatsapp wont show modern people anymore. even in the US the adoption rate is in decline.

lmao what
Well, there you have your answer.
Still, Telegram has much many features and security standards that WhatsApp don't have, and they need to copy them. WhatsApp has been copying Telegram for years already...
and you think that is an argument for what? the least digital country in the EU. so you are with me on that one. LOL.
It's a really simple matter of practicality. I can either use whatsapp and talk to people or I can install telegram and send messages into the void, because no one fucking uses it.
no. it isnt and you cant.
none of the next generation likes it. so stick with myspace as much as you want.
That's great news. Found one more argument for whatsapp.
well thats fine ofcourse ...making all previous pro whatsapp arguments kinda invalid.
"i wanna chat.but only with my bubble. because we are right. has always been lile that. why dont i understand what the kids say these days? why am i being ignored in the workplace? was i stubborn? i am a dinosaur? why am i so alone? why do my grandkids hate my point of view?" and so on....
I think you're doing quite a lot of projecting here.
says the one who is not interested in talking to the next generation.lmfao. are you retarded?
Seriously, what is your obsession to talk with talking to younger people? Maybe I'm just not a paedo like you?
Whatsapp is a phone number based chat app, for communicating with people you already know and have given your fucking phone number. Not a fucking causual chat app, not a dating app or what ever stupid thing you seem to use it for. It's literally just a fancy sms replacement.
And you probably shouldn't call people retarded when you yourself seem to have the IQ of 100 metres of dirtroad.
LOL
