Better than whatsapp yes, but still bad.

Chats are still only encrypted if you choose to, Groups are always unencrypted, the Desktop version doesnt support encrypted Chats for years, for no reason.

Use Signal or Matrix

Telegram has many features that WhatsApp doesn't. The big limitation on WhatsApp is that you can not use it on PC unless it is also open in your mobile phone! Another point is the range of amazing and funny stickers that Telegram has!

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.
