Tbh I'm kind of amused that you rail against WhatsApp and then went and installed Telegram rather than Signal.

I have done my research well and I still support Telegram. I don't think Signal has what is needed to rival WhatsApp.

Telegram is a much better option that does not sell your user data and still has the best privacy options. Where most people like to disagree is the security part, but E2EE is not as important to me as long as my privacy is respected.

Agreed, if I need to send encrypted data, I won't be using a messaging app to do it.

Many reasons. Telegram is less evil then Whatsapp and it's best in class UI/UX. It's a compromise.

Signal is horrible to use and inconvenient for most people but with e2ee.
