That happened before though and it didn't work out. I don't know why it should be different that time.

Also, telegram is used a lot in Germany (compared to other countries) and together with Signal & others it got used much more recently. I don't think Whatsapp has much leverage here.

Not sure if Telegram is better for the users though.

Telegram is not end to end encrypted, and thus is not really "secure" in the sense that we mean when we say "secure messenger".
