whatsapp appears to be worse than wechat. on wechat i can hide my phonenumber from other users. that's a major concern for me, i don't want anyone to be able to call me just because they got my messaging contact.

wechat does not have any kind of read receipt. so i can never tell if someone is seeing my messages unless they actually respond.

ironically, telegram doesn't seem to have any option to turn read receipts off. at least it too can hide the phonenumber.

both telegram and wechat can mute groups, though wechat has no archiving feature, like whatsapp delete is the only option. (or asking the admin to remove me, that way i can keep the history but not get new messages)
