    Comments about Telegram as an Alternative to WhatsApp
    Comment summary: Telegram is praised for its flexibility, additional features such as desktop functionality without a phone connection, and privacy measures. Many users describe it as more fluent and fun compared to WhatsApp. However, some critique its security, noting that chats are unencrypted by default and lack full end-to-end encryption, which WhatsApp provides. Telegram is appreciated for being open-source and offering features like cloud storage and multi-device support.

    You can have a username that you can change any time, so you don't have to share your phone number with strangers in groups

    If you are looking for a more secure and privacy friendly alternative to WhatsApp, then Telegram is NOT for you. Chats are unencrypted by default, group chats can't be encrypted at all and the business model is not transparent.
