I don’t understand Telegram, it just seems like Signal, but worse. Can someone explain to me what the purpose of Telegram is?
Its better than signal in every aspect except privacy (still better than whatsapp in that and arguably a secure messaging app).

You didn’t tell me how it’s better in any way, and you told me that it’s worse in a very very important way. So… why would I ever use it?

Sounds to me like Signal is still the best messaging app.

Its better because: It can sustain big public groups (upto 200k peoples), channels with unlimited subscribers, unlimited cloud storage (files upto 4gb, synced across devices), powerful bots, web apps, native crypto support, you can do pretty much anything within the app (literally a superapp), heaven for pirates, stickers, video calls, live streams, etc. unlimited devices could be signed up for one account, messages sync across devices, free with minimal ads, premium to get more features, completely run by users support and ad platform, no external entity involved. secret chats for end 2 end encryption chats and much more.
