Yes, going from WhatsApp to Telegram is a sidegrade at best. Probably a downgrade for most people, since Telegram is unencrypted by default.

Telegram has the great advantage that you can have it working on multiple devices at the same time. Whatsapp's web and desktop solutions are terrible.

On the other hand, voice calls on Whatsapp are far better.

I thought Telegram offered e2e encryption.

It's optional and disabled by default for 1-on-1 chats and not available at all for group chats.

Do you mean the e2e that WhatsApp claims is in their client but since it's closed source no one can check? /s

>But isn't telegram less secure than Whatsapp
