Signal is much better than Telegram in terms of privacy. Do people find Telegram more convenient?
I don't consider privacy a primary reason for someone to choose one service over another because most don't care. What I mean is that telegram has more features in general.
What do you say to all of the people who use Whatsapp instead of Telegram because its default privacy is better? Privacy is one of the main selling points of WhatsApp, even though Signal has better privacy.
I'd say that why not just use signal if you actually care about privacy lol..
WhatsApp is more convenient than Signal and more people are on WhatsApp
