Almost everyone I know has left WhatsApp for Telegram anyway.

Telegram may not be perfect but it's still better, wish people stopped being addicted to WhatsApp and Instagram here...

Telegram is unencrypted by default, it is by definition less secure than WA, tldr signal or simplex is better.

Telegram has an open source client, so from my perspective it is the better option. But what convinced the people around me were the amazin emoji support that Telegram has.
