Telegram has been temporarily blocked in India, on the recommendation of the National Testing Agency (NTA), the government has blocked this platform till June 22. After the blocking of Telegram, the discussion has started that what is there in this app that it has been blocked and WhatsApp has not? If you think a little deeply, you will know that there are some features available in this app which are not provided to the users by WhatsApp. It is believed that these features have also become the reason for the block of this app.
Username feature without sharing number
In the case of Telegram and WhatsApp privacy, their approach is quite different. Telegram focuses on anonymity, in this app users get the facility to hide phone numbers and connect with others through username. On the other hand, everything in WhatsApp is linked to the phone number, that is, if you want to connect, you have to share your phone number.
Bots and Mini Apps
These features make Telegram different, these tools provide extra functionality so you can manage groups, play games, create polls and much more with the help of these features.
large group feature
Now let us come to those things due to which the ban may have been imposed. Telegram has the facility to create large groups (2,00,000). Whereas WhatsApp currently allows maximum 1024 users to join the group. Apart from this, by taking Telegram’s premium service, you can share files up to 4GB, whereas for free users the limit is 2GB, WhatsApp does not have anything like paid premium service.
