    It will be defeated by a strong opponent like Telegram. Telegram is also more user friendly.

    Too many limitations and is owned by Facebook.

    absolutely unsecure, E2EE is questionable, and Facebook are planning on implementing a feature to decrypt messages for advertisers (as if that was not a thing since they acquired whatsapp...)

    It may cause hesitation as it is not open source. It should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

    Nasty, closed-sourced, privacy-invading app by a company whose business model is based on selling private user data to the highest bidder. Stay away if you value your online privacy and security (where will your data be in 20 years and how could it be used against you then?). Telegram, Signal and Wire are hugely preferable because they use encryption.
