Telegram has the best features but it’s not E2E Encrypted by Default. WhatsApp claims it’s E2E Encrypted by default. Signal has proved it’s E2E Encrypted by default.
The only downside to Telegram is it is centralized and you just have to trust them with no e2e encryption. E2E encryption is device locked AFAIK. I want Matrix to be as good as Telegram, then I could just completely switch to Matrix only.
Telegram becomes more and more popular too. They now have 800 m active users.
They’re going to rewrite Element Android/iOS from scratch and it’s looking cool.
Desktop apps are going in great direction, with NeoChat, Fractal and Nheko, I see improvements month by month.
Calls are still only good working on Element Web, hope that would change.
It has Telegram, Matrix, Discord and Android SMS. But I only use Telegram most of the time. And although I found open sourced bridges (backend) I didn’t found frontend. I’m not a target user anyway. But the project does have a potential.
Telegram is the best. Whatsapp copies everything from it.

This exactly. If I can’t audit whatsapp to be e2ee, it’s not.
