Okay, what are the reasons? It's difficult to see how Meta is in any way more trustworthy than the country which Telegram is from. I trust TG secret chats much more than Whatsapp's supposed e2e.

It does have a nice Bot API though. For building personal stuff or just sharing between friends, the risks can be mitigated (imo).

It also has the best cross-platform chat UX since pretty much forever, and just a generally really well polished interface.
