I see a lot of comments where they prefer telegram over WhatsApp. Surprising part is whatsapp is end to end encrypted by default for all conversations but telegram is not.

Yes, agreed. I didn't understand that. For me, Signal is preferred but I will use WhatsApp if I must.

Yes cause this is a US forum. Most people here have no idea how mandatory WhatsApp is in some parts of the world. Where I live it's probably installed on 99.9% of the phones. All your family, friends and coworkers are on WhatsApp. You want to book a haircut? They will confirm the appointment on WhatsApp. You want to get a quote for anything? They will send the file to you on WhatsApp. You want to know what was your covid vaccine number? The only way is to request it to a bot on WhatsApp. This is actually insane.
