Facebook Acquired Whatsapp.Does it scare you? Telegram to the rescue!

      Facebook acquired Whatsapp and many people are still wondering.They all are wondering about their privacy issues on Whatsapp, since Facebook has acquired Whatsapp.Now,what to do?


    Everyone knows that Facebook was in the news.The news was about that Facebook has colluded with NSA and shared its users data with it.This piece of Information was revealed by "Edward Snowden".

   So with Facebook buying whatsapp and people are thinking about the privacy issues.There is more concern with everyone since people share data,pictures,private chats over Whatsapp.

   So with all these in mind,newer messaging apps are gaining forward.Among them is Telegram.


   Telegram is one such messaging app with a focus on speed and security. It’s superfast, simple and free.For those interested in maximum privacy, they have added Secret Chats, featuring end-to-end encryption to ensure that a message can only be read by its intended recipient. When it comes to Secret Chats, nothing is logged on to their servers and you can automatically program the messages to self-destruct from both devices so there is never any record of it.



  They claim that the chat messages are of high end encryption.Anyone who claims that Telegram messages can be deciphered is welcome to prove that claim in their competition and win $200,000.

   With Telegram, you can create group chats with up to 200 people so you can stay connected with everyone at once. Plus, you can share videos up to 1GB, send multiple photos from the web, and forward any media you receive in an instant. 

  Not only photos or videos,you can even share documents.



  So the big question is.If they are completely free then how do they get funded?They are funded by Parel Durov,who is Telegram's creator says that he supplied Telegram with a generous donation through his Digital Fortress fund.So no crunch for funds has arisen so far and if it happens in the future then he will invite the users to donate or add non-essential paid options.

  So finally they say that Telegram is:
PRIVATE:Telegram messages are heavily encrypted and can self-destruct.
CLOUD BASED:Telegram lets you access your messages from multiple devices.
FAST:Telegram delivers messages faster than any other application.
DISTRIBUTED:Telegram servers are spread worldwide for security and speed.
OPEN:Telegram has an open API and protocol free for everyone.
FREE:Telegram is free forever. No ads. No subscription fees.
SECURE:Telegram keeps your messages safe from hacker attacks.
POWERFUL:Telegram has no limits on the size of your media and chats.

  


  However,they do not have voice chat.With improving data speed,Chat messaging is being dominated by voice chat and video chat.Whatsapp has voice chat while Telegram does not have voice chat.It is high time that Telegram 's developer starts working on the voice chat option.

  So all these features,make this an perfect app.Your privacy concerns are addressed.Your main headache of subscribing to an messaging app is not there anymore.Morever,they claim that no hacker or spy agency can break their encryption and get your data or photos.
