Why is Telegram better than WhatsApp

Why is Telegram better than WhatsApp
1 Telegram allows you to send ANY file (MS office documents, Google APKs, text files) upto 1GB where as with WhatsApp you can only send pics and video.
2 Telegram works on multiple devices with same number. Install it on phone, laptop, tablet, even browser. You can have the ease and convenience of using laptop keyboard to type long messages. It syncs messages, files, media across devices so if you are chatting from laptop and log off, you can continue on phone precisely from where you left off on laptop. WhatsApp works only on one device - phone.
3 With Telegram you don’t lose messages/files when your phone is formatted or you buy another phone. The moment you install telegram using the same number, all chats and files are instantly available again. During emergency, if you phone does not have internet connection or Telegram is not installed, you can use ANY web browser to log on and read your past messages and chat with people. If phone is reset or changed, you lose your WhatsApp chat.
4 Telegram allows you groups upto 200 members whereas WhatsApp groups are only limited to 50. In fact, if you get added to a group, people will see only your nickname set by you and not your number, whereas being added to a WhatsApp group, you will see phone numbers of people not in your contact list and not their display names.
5 Telegram has a secure chat mode. You can send confidential data, files and chat and even set the messages to self destruct after time elapse. These messages don’t go thru telegram server, instead they go from user device to user device directly.
6 Telegram optimizes pics and videos by reducing their resolution so that they are sent thru faster. If you want to send pics/video with original resolution and files, you can send them as “document attachments”
7 Telegram is more secure and faster. It uses a new MProto protocol which is encrypted and reduced the number of “round-trips” required for communication making it faster than WhatsApp.
8 Telegram does not drain battery as it uses Google’s serverside infrastructure (GCM) for receiving notifications whereas WhatsApp uses a modified XAMPP for waiting for notifications.
9 Telegram supports username so that you don’t have to give your phone number to people for them to connect with you. You can keep your number private and yet message with people.
10 Telegram is multi platform, here are the download links
