Plus, if youāre using the āsecret chatsā feature, youāre getting the same level of end-to-end encryption. On top of this, users canāt forward or screenshot messages in secret chats, and messages can be programmed to self-destruct. Deleting a message also deletes it for everyone on the service, and users have the option to delete not just their own messages, but other usersā messages, too. Itās also worth mentioning that all chats are encrypted, even if not end-to-end encrypted. However, Telegram only uses this encryption in calls and in its āsecret chatsā feature, not in regular chats. Those are only encrypted client to server. Meanwhile, WhatsApp, the supposedly less secure service, has used end-to-end encryption in all messages, calls, and video calls since 2016. Telegram is a multi-platform messaging service founded by Russian entrepreneur Pavel Durov, although it was temporarily banned in Russia and has no affiliation with any government or company. It first rolled out on iOS and Android in late 2013, and now has an estimated 550 million monthly users. Telegramās user base tends to increase whenever a privacy scandal hits one of its larger competitors.

One of the nagging issues I have with WhatsApp is its extremely limited text editing features. For example, if someone sends a message, you canāt select a part of text from the message. You will have to copy the whole message and then edit it out in the small text field which frankly is very annoying. However, Telegram has brought a great way to select and copy a part of a message. Tap and hold on a message to select it first and then again tap and hold to select your part of the message. Thatās ingenious, right? According to the official Telegram FAQ section, You can create secret chats that use end-to-end encryption. This means only you and your chat partner can read those messages.
