[IM] Telegram

[Vyom]

Right now, there is no competition between WhatsApp and Telegram.

What'sApp have no cloud backup (Atleast from user's point of view). I have lost my conversation history due to this. While since Telegram have cloud storage, so I have never lost any data. Due to this reason, Telegram is truly cross platform, while WhatsApp is struggling to it.

WhatsApp was good when it was new. But now that it have been bought by FB, I tend not to use it much. I have to be on it, since as with many others, my friends are on it. But Telegram is way better.

There is one difference between WhatsApp and Telegram in case of groups - In WhatsApp the phone numbers of all group members are visible to all members of the group. But in Telegram you will see the nickname but will not see the phone number unless you already have it in your phone book.

This leads to an excellent thing - no one can send you a direct message without getting your number from you or someone else in the group.

-------

How long does Telegram store our media in its cloud? There should be a finite limit because storage is not infinite. Just around a month of my WhatsApp activity alone produces more than 2 GB of media.

One more handy feature:

You can directly search for images and share from internet on telegram. No need to go to browser to download image and then share the image from explorer.

I was fed up of using third party tools to do this.

[MENTION=133936]ramakanta[/MENTION] Yes used it for a long time

 

[kapiljhajhria]

Ok. Here we go. This thought has been bugging me for some time. Months to be precise.

1. We lose our number if we don't use it for 3 months. ( Worst case scenario, user dies). And then that number is given to somebody else. That is the usual practice with operators.

2. Telegram stores all info contacts/messages/media in the cloud related to the number and is available in multiple platforms.

Here is the case.

So a user loses his number, another person gets the number, activates Telegram. Telegram syncs all the previous user's data to this guy.

Your thoughts please

You can setup passcode. So just having your simcard won't be enough for anyone to gain access yo your telegram account. Which is not the case with whatsapp. Also you can set self destruct like 3 months for your telegram account. Which you can't do in whatsapp. So if you change your number and people still send you whatsapp message on that number even after few months. Stranger who gets your number will be able to recieve them as soon as he sign ups for whatsapp.
