Telegram is just actually superior in terms of features I don’t get it.

  1. Whatsapp is more popular.
  2. It has a lot of scammers. Especially crypto scammers.
  3. A little bit more difficult to use. There are so many features and it can kind lf get overwhelming.
  4. Messages are not end to end encrypted by default.

Number 1 is what my question is about

Whatsapp also has scammers

It’s just as easy as Whatsapp if you don’t want/need to look into more features.

The popularity of WhatsApp is /why/ WhatsApp is popular. That’s just kind of how it works with messaging apps. The only reason anyone has WhatsApp is because someone they wanted or needed to talk to was using WhatsApp.

the phrase you’re looking for is “positive network effects.” The large network is a killer feature.
