Telegram is THE standard in messaging apps. It's basically flawless. It's extremely fast, and it works every single time. Notifications are rock solid on every platform, it doesn't hog your battery and it feels fluid to use.

Signal, Wickr, WhatsApp and others do not have this experience. They all have drawbacks and do not feel Telegram fast.

It may be the standard for speed, but it's not the standard for security.

Telegram by far has the best user experience, yes.
