Telegram is even worse than WhatsApp and that's actually painfull to say.
Can you guarantee the E2EE in WhatsApp? If not, then you can't say one is better than the other
Telegram client is open source, WhatsApp client is not. Telegram has a client for Linux desktop, WhatsApp doesn't.
I don't understand the Telegram hate.
Thing with Telegram is that end-to-end encryption is not enabled by default (thus only used rarely) and Telegram doesn't really have any viable business model, besides being funded by a billionaire. That raises some questions. I really like Telegram, though.
Note: WhatsApp should be obliterated from earth with a flamethrower. (Facebook too & a long list...)
