WhatsApp is end 2 end encrypted. Its not that you lost your data you lost your private key.

WhatsApp has your data but they can't decrypt it.

With telegram your data must be unencrypted in the cloud.

If you value privacy stay with WhatsApp.

Bullshit. Facebook makes all the software so of course it has keys to your data so by extension the US government does too.
