Use telegram



Telegram is a privacy downgrade from WhatsApp. WA is at least end to end encrypted; Telegram is not.


Telegram is not a downgrade in this instance.


It's not encrypted by default, WhatsApp is.


It doesn't blatantly spy on things you do outside of it


yes it is.

it does not do the e2e hat-trick thou

The app you have to pay premium to prevent them from selling your details to advertisers and scammers? Ha yes I totally trust them.


Why telegram instead of signal?
