To sum things up, I would say that Telegram is less popular than WhatsApp but more independent and confidential, less secure than Signal but more versatile and intuitive. Telegram offers a wide range of features that allows you to push the user experience customization to the limit. This choice makes the application far more convenient than Signal, such as having a local storage option.īut if I had to pick just one feature of Telegram that won me over, it would be its versatility. The reason behind this? The increased use of the cloud to store all your messages and photos on a secure server which makes them accessible from any connected device. However, at the same time, Telegram does not offer end-to-end encryption by default. Of course, the application does tout data protection and its independence as THE main selling points. On the other hand, one that is confidential, focused on data protection, with independence from GAFAM, there are the likes of Signal, Viber, or Threema. On the one hand, the mass-market option with a massive adoption rate and firmly entrenched in users' tech habits: we have WhatsApp.

I used the mobile (Android and iPadOS), desktop (Windows) and web versions for the purposes of this review.
