\r\n\r\nTelegram and WhatsApp<\/strong>. Which one to stay with? If you also ask yourself the question about which free messaging application is better or which one you should use, depending on its characteristics, keep reading: indigitall reveals what are the strengths of each one, its advantages and its differences.\r\n\r\nThe following are the main differences<\/strong> between Telegram and WhatsApp, the most popular messaging apps.\r\n\r\nNumber of Users<\/strong>\r\nWhatsApp is imposed by far at this point, since it multiplies by ten the number of active users<\/strong> available to its competitor and added 2,000 million at the beginning of 2020. In addition, it spreads faster, especially in 40 African countries. According to data made public in October 2019 by Telegram, this app is used by about 200 million users.\r\n\r\nSecurity Level<\/strong>\r\nWhatsApp also wins in this comparison. Encrypts all your messages end-to-end.<\/strong> Telegram does the same, but only in secret chats. The rest of the messages are encrypted, although not with such high security.\r\n\r\nVideo Calls<\/strong>\r\nTelegram and WhatsApp follow parallel trajectories in sending messages, making calls and other features, which are repeated with hardly any variations. The biggest difference lies in the possibility of making video calls<\/strong>, both individually and in groups. This option is only available on Whatsapp, and is one of its greatest advantages over Telegram.\r\n\r\nAdditional submissions from bots\r\n<\/strong>You share daily text messages, photos, locations, and other files with your contacts. You can do it indistinctly by WhatsApp Business<\/a> and Telegram, but there is a difference in this aspect: additional sending from bots<\/strong>. This is only possible from the second app.\r\n\r\nEdit messages already sent\r\n<\/strong>You write a message to a friend and, as soon as you send it, you realize that you have committed a misspelling. What can you do? If you have resorted to WhatsApp, you will have no choice but to send a new corrected message; or, if the recipient hasn't read it yet, you can delete it. On the other hand, if your channel has been Telegram you are in luck: you can edit the message<\/strong> already sent and correct any errors.\r\n\r\nCloud Service\r\n<\/strong>WhatsApp lacks the cloud service<\/strong> and, therefore, does not save messages or can be activated on different devices simultaneously. Telegram, on the other hand, does allow it.\r\n\r\nThese are the main differences between Telegram and WhatsApp<\/strong>. Knowing them will allow you to opt for one or the other, although their use is not incompatible. And, whichever one you choose, we can help you automate your communications across different channels.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>"}]}],"glossary_title":"","glossary_definition":"","featured_image":7151,"featured_video":null,"channel":null},"yoast_head":"\nWhatsApp Vs Telegram.
