Although WhatsApp is triggered the most used instant messenger in Brazil, there are things that Telegram does and WhatsApp does not. However, not always having more tools means having more users. It is useless for an app to have more resources if no one uses them.
Even due to lack of knowledge, many WhatsApp users do not even imagine that Telegram has features that could be useful in their daily lives.
For this reason, we have prepared a list of five things that Telegram does and WhatsApp does not yet. Note that many tools that were successful in one ended up in the other.
However, until that day arrives, how about exploring these new features?

1. Password protection of the app
Security has always been one of the aspects most highlighted by the Telegram development team and, in this regard, the Telegram app does better. An interesting feature is the possibility to block access to the application with a password. It is an individual and specific password for the messenger.
Thus, even if your cell phone is unlocked, those who do not have the Telegram password will not be able to access the messages.
You can even get something similar on WhatsApp, but not natively: third-party apps can add a little privacy to the messenger or any other app, but this can compromise the security of your device.
2. Standalone desktop version
WhatsApp Web is widely used by users, but it has its limitations. Access to it is through a QR Code, which needs to be scanned to validate access – which means that the cell phone needs to be close and connected to the internet. In the case of Telegram it is different.
The Telegram messenger has independent login in the desktop version . This way, you can access it even if your phone is not around. In other words, it is completely independent, which gives users more freedom to choose how they want to access the platform to communicate.
3. The famous stickers
This is one of the reasons why Telegram fell in love with many people: the possibility of using stickers, whether from ready-made or customized packages. This feature can make conversations a lot more fun and the younger audience appreciates this tool too much.
However, it can be a matter of time before they appear on WhatsApp . That’s because Facebook, which owns the platform, already offers something similar in Messenger and Instagram.
The integration between the two apps has increased in recent years, so that at some point a feature like this should appear.
4. Bots
There are those who love and those who hate this feature, but the fact is that Telegram has bots and WhatsApp does not yet. This gives group administrators multiple creation possibilities, such as using polls or even setting up automatic messages based on frequently asked questions.
You can access all of these resources directly at the URL storebot.me . From there, there are tips on how to configure each of the tools. It is even possible to include games to be played in the group and the records are played only by the members who are there. One of the coolest features of the app.
5. Communication channels
Finally, another feature widely used in Telegram is the communication channels. These are chats in which only the administrator has the privilege of posting. Thus, it is as if all members have access to a large RSS feed in which they receive the information posted.
This initiative has not yet been copied by WhatsApp in its entirety, but this is a recurring request from users, especially those who produce content.
Sites, blogs and companies try to be creative and find ways to bring information to their target audience through WhatsApp, but Telegram makes it easy. However, it is a matter of time before we see that exclusivity come to an end.
