10 REASONS WHY TELEGRAM IS BETTER THAN WHATSAPP
Hi everyone. We wrote previously on this blog that Whatsapp is the best instant messaging app to many people, but seemingly, this is only due to its popularity. Forgotten was the ongoing battle between the popular WhatsApp and not-so-popular Telegram. It's not so suprising as both instant messaging chatting platforms continues releasing updates to beat one another. However, Telegram still has the upper hand in many ramifications. Around 2015, Telegram had about 8 reasons better than WhatsApp in comparison. Progressively, under Telegram's unrelented effort, more facts and features shows how WhatsApp is no match to what Telegram offers.
Some years back, many people installed and uninstalled Telegram not because they didn't like it but because it's not popular; and that means -- Telegram users were scanty then. But now it's getting popular and people are seeing the reasons to have it on their mobile phone. Guess what, there are more features especially when it comes to groups and its management. Just get along below as you glance through some of the features you can enjoy on Telegram that WhatsApp don't have(or don't yet have unless they're effortly working on improvement).
REASONS WHY TELEGRAM IS BETTER THAN WHATSAPP
1. Allows Up To 30,000 Group Members(SuperGroup):
Initially, normal Telegram groups could contain upto 200 members while supergroups could let you have up to 1000 members. Later on, Telegram decided to extend further the membership limit of a supergroup to 5000 which sounded amazing but it was later doubled to 10,000. The most trending news about the app's Supergroup feature is the fact that it could accommodate up to a mass of 30,000 group members in a single group. This can be the size of a small social media town. Remember WhatsApp only accommodates about 256 members in a group. See the wide margin difference?
2. Search Tool For Easy Global Search Of Members, Groups And Channels:The search tool could be used to search for any telegram users, groups and channels worldwide. Telegram understands that managing a huge group could be hectic so they made available some tools that will help make it easier and one of those tools is the "Search" tool.
First, admins and users can use "search" to find specific users among them or any user on telegram. In a supergroup that can potentially have 30,000 members, you may not have the patience to go through the drop down list to find someone as it's done on whatsapp, so the search tool is provided for your aid under such occasions.
3. Ability To Give Specific Roles To Admins:
Also, group creators can give specific sets of privileges to admins to help run the telegram social community. You can let them change group info, delete messages, ban users, pin messages or add other admins. Unlike whatsapp where once you make someone an Admin, he has the total rights and privileges as the group creator. He can even remove the creator of the group, and that's a big flaw from Whatsapp..yes it is!
4. Partial Banning of a Member:
Admins can also give partial bans to members from their supergroups without necessarily banning them completely, just like a warning, and could later reinstate banned members to their former full membership after being warned. You can limit them to such activities like reading or sending messages and not letting them sending media or links, which is great! You can even use admin bots to impose temporary or permanent bans based on actions by members which means admins can have bot police, whereas a bot is a program that is designed to automatically execute tasks or commands repetitively. But on whatsapp, you only have a "total ban" option which removes the member entirely from the group.
5. Recent Actions Section:
Since these supergroups can have multiple admins, there is a need to have a way to know who did what in the group. That is why Telegram added a “recent actions” section to the admins page which has a log of all actions taken in the group in the last 48 hours and it is visible to admins only.
6. More Interactive Emoticons:
Telegram boasts of more interactive emoticons way better than what's available on whatsapp. It makes chats more fun and interesting(but don't use it much if you are managing your data, as it can zap your little MB).
OTHER REMARKABLE FEATURES OF TELEGRAM
Apart from group features, there are other amazing stuffs available on Telegram to keep you up to date and engaged thereby killing boredom even if you have no one to chat with or don't feel like. But advisably, don't let "having fun" eat up your precious time, meant for precious life accomplishments/commitments.
7. Telegram Channels:
There are many channels on Telegram with tens of thousands of participants. Each channel updates you with their topic of interests. For instance, there are some interesting facts from channels like Google facts, Facts Fever Channels et.c, through which, one could stay updated.

8. Availability of Useful Bots:
There are bots like..
Growthbot - a chatbot that helps you grow your business
Utubebot - the bot which allows you to download YouTube Videos.
Stickerdownloadbot - Allows you to download Stickers as Image file and save them to your mobile Phone.
Apkdl_bot - Allows you to Search And download any android App.
So if you're eager to getting your business noticed one way or another, or wish to easily download youtube videos, or in need of inspiring sticker-samples..then these Telegram bots might be of some help to you.
9. Ability To Send Almost Any Type of File 📂
Telegram allows you to send or share many types of file formats including .apk (Android apps) to group members or via personal chat with someone. Although this feature is available on "WhatsApp Mod" apps like GBWhatsapp but not yet available on the official app as there are still file formats restricted.
10. You Can Hide Your Mobile Phone Number If You Wish:
Unlike in Whatsapp whereby your mobile number is unsecured but visible to the entire public, Telegram makes sure your privacy seriously matters and provides the selection option of replacing your phone number with a username, so that only those whom you wish to have your phone number can have it. You know it is sometimes annoying to be receiving irrelevant calls from people in a social group, and then frustrating when there is no way of keeping the privacy of your number to this kind of people but things are different in this regards when it comes to Telegram.
Additionally, Telegram also has a built-in web browser that looks like chrome and it loads pages faster than some popular browsers when launched to surf the web. This is not available on whatsapp. For now, WhatsApp makes use of separately installed browsers on your phone to open external web links.
