Telegram is just actually superior in terms of features I don’t get it.

It sends text to people. Even pictures or videos if needed. What more features would I need?

I don’t know anyone that uses telegram. Whatsapp is just the standard, though many people have switched to Signal.

The biggest one for most people would be large files since you can’t really do that on WhatsApp. WhatsApp images and video also get deleted after some time where as telegram don’t

That’s a feature that can be turned off.
