While this feature can only accommodate a chat between two users, it not only protects the content of your conversation by using end-to-end encryption, but it also allows you to set self-destruct timers on your messages, so that they simply disappear after a period of time you determine – which is truly the most secure way to keep your conversation from prying eyes. The first level of encryption is actually not as robust as the general chat feature on WhatsApp, which encrypts all communications from one user to another directly.īut Telegram truly shines with its “Secret Chat” feature. Telegram prides itself on not taking any money from advertisers, so that means the conversations you have using its service do not get passed along to corporations looking to sell you something – unlike Facebook and WhatsApp.Īdditionally, Telegram provides two levels of encryption – server/client for all open chats and end-to-end encryption for “Secret Chats” (see below). But since 2013 there’s been another messaging tool out there called Telegram, which offers several key benefits over its more commercial competitors. Ask a friend about which messaging app she uses and you’re likely to hear Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp and maybe Hangouts by Google (although that’s a lot less likely).
