Telegram Is Gradually Taking Over Whatsapp With These 5 Powerful Features

Whatsapp is one of the famous, most used mobile social chat app out there, but despite being one of the most favourite; it might not be the best and definitely has other competing chat app out there.

And currently, the fiercest Whatsapp rival is turning out to be Telegram, another messaging app similar to Whatspp in many ramifications.

Recently, many social chat app users are beginning to embrace the Telegram app and it has started posing serious threat to Whatsapp as users are beginning to see more reasons why Whatsapp might not really be the best despite its larger user base.

The Telegram app offers users more flexibility and gives them many things that are not obtainable with Whatsapp.

Below are the 5 major powerful features that are absent in Whatsapp and present in Telegram that are quickly making people moving away from Whatsapp and embracing Telegram;

1. The ability to create group that can accommodate up to 5000 group members – With Telegram one can create group that can take maximum of 5000 members while Whatsapp allows only but a paltry 256 members to a group

2. Secondly is that with Telegram, when new member joins a group created by others, that new member will have the ability to scroll up in order to see previous messages on the group but with Whatsapp, the reverse is the case as new members in a group can only see newer messages but cannot scroll up to see older messages in the group.

3. With Telegram, messages sent are end to end and once deleted at one end, such messages  also vanishes on the other users end, whereas with Whatsapp, when a message is deleted  by one party on one end, the message remains on the other party’s end

4. With Telegram, you can edit embarrassing and mistakenly sent messages, but whatever you sent on Whatsapp is final and cannot be edited.

5. GIF file with animated images provides more fun way of interaction during chatting and with Telegram, you can easily send out countless numbers of animated GIF files because Telegram supports such file format, but Whatsapp does not support GIF files.

Finally, with the way users are now embracing the Telegram app, users are beginning to predict that in no time, Telegram mobile chat app will dethrone Whatsapp and become the new king of mobile chat app.
