I know people hate Whatsapp but I personally like using it much more than Telegram. I just don't like the Telegram interface and I guess one reason is that my friends like to spam really ugly stickers so I just avoid that.
You don’t really make new friends on whatsapp or telegram, you can just use it for your existing friends, doesnt allow you to meet new people unless you’re gonna text random lol
Telegram only because of the lack of compression in videos and photos when sent through there. Whatsapp and normal messaging compresses the videos too much and it looks like I recorded it on a droid razr
