By default Telegram doesn't even do E2EE, you're 100% trusting them not to read your messages unless you start a secret chat. In what objective way could you consider Telegram to be technically more secure than WhatsApp?
- skinkestek 5y ago> In what objective way could you consider Telegram to be technically more secure than WhatsApp? Firstly mahnouel didn't write "more secure" but better. Secondly: if backups are enabled WhatsApp at anyone of the group members then WhatsApp is automatically uploading unencrypted copies of the group chats to Google. I'd say that brings WhatsApp security for groups down to Telegram level at least. Thirdly: forcing others to use WhatsApp to be part of the group gives away their group affiliation to Facebook. This might or might not be a problem for you.
