It isn't strictly speaking better. It has pros and cons compared to other systems just like any other service. You and your messaging partners must decide what trade offs you are willing to make.
Personally Signal is nearly unusable for me (check my posting history for why, this has been coming up a lot recently). I think Telegram has the highest quality UX of any modern IM, yet I still mostly use Facebook Messenger because everyone is on it.

- dzek69 9y agoDefinitely. Telegram wins all with their UX with a ways sometimes you wouldn't expect from an IM app. Light native apps everywhere is a very big plus too. I'm aware it is not secure as I would like to but I'm gonna use whatever my friends use anyway. Most people I know uses about 3 IM apps and they don't bother caring about privacy anyway (by using products of Facebook and Google, where Telegram, despite it's problems is still better choice for privacy). I hope Telegram resolves issues everyone is concerned about. Or all my friends switch to Signal. Or something.
- 18pfsmt 9y agoI would argue Telegram is more of a social network than IM, especially with the channels feature. Its successful growth can be attributed to its viral/network features, and certainly not its crypto.
