There are real tradeoffs between functionality and usability that any "more secure" chat service would have to deal with.

In this Telegram made many nice choices. It can be end-to-end secure but it is also a viable Whatsapp alternative.

Sticker, channels, bots and supergroups are essential to attract communities.

WhatsApp is default end-to-end secure, and Telegram is not. Recommending Telegram as a more secure alternative to WhatsApp is malpractice.
