To be fair: If we're talking 'replace WhatsApp', the 'had security issues' point is - well - comparable. Competitive? :) I stay with xmpp.

- lucb1e 13y agoConsidering that WhatsApp used port 443 but sent messages in plaintext... I think Telegram actually did better. Also since in the end, nobody actually turned out to be able to decrypt messages.
- MichaelGG 13y agoWhatsApp didn't go on about their security and mock security expert's opinions, either. Telegram intentionally built their own encryption, did a poor job, summarily dismissed expert criticism, and set up a shame contest. That kind of behaviour is far worse than an "SMS-replacement" service not really putting much effort into security.
