However, Telegram is not far behind and although there are not many new features in it, it is the one with the most functions.. WhatsApp has even copied many of them, but it doesn't have them all yet. Let's see what tools Telegram offers that you still don't know about.
5 Telegram features that are not in WhatsApp
Telegram is an older messaging app that WhatsAppThe number of functions it has is gigantic and you may know some of them, But I'm sure you don't know many more.Let's see which ones are the most interesting and which no other messaging app has:
Talking to someone without knowing their number
On Telegram you can locate a person through their alias. Just by searching for it you can reach this person, write to them and get in touch without having to use their phone number. It is quite useful to keep your information private, but without limiting the process of having to talk to others. However, we recommend that you activate the option to hide the phone number and increase security.
Have a secret chat
A secret chat on Telegram is the safest and most private way to talk to another person. This allows you to create a space for conversation totally safe, without the risk of a stranger or third party knowing what was said there. In addition, you can activate the automatic deletion of messages to increase the level of security.
Telegram bots
Something that WhatsApp doesn't have is bots that can be asked to perform different types of tasks. to assist the user. These fully automated tools can perform tasks such as mathematical calculations, translations, geolocalization of space, discovering new features, and more.
There are hundreds of these bots on Telegram, you just have to type their name in the search engine accompanied by an @ sign. Here is a list of the most interesting ones that you can use:

Large user limit in groups
Telegram allows you to add up to 200.000 people per group, while WhatsApp allows you to add just 1.024 contactsThe difference is huge and quite useful if you want to send the same message to many more people at once. You can have several administrators and they can be both public and private.
If they are public, they will appear freely in the search engine and anyone can join, as long as there is availability and the main administrator accepts them. These group chats work exactly the same as any other group, allowing you to share all kinds of information in them.
