Hi, one reason is telegram payment. on the other hand these kind of telegram mini-apps can be the future of the e-shops because of the telegram great communication capabilities. there are many online shops using Instagram to sell their products, they can do better with telegram mini-apps in my opinion.

Yeah but that is either via buttons or a link. I found later that WhatsApp is working on launching app type of functionality very soon via WhatsApp Flows.

That’s interesting. What makes you think that Telegram is a better platform than Instagram?

Anecdote: Both my parents and all grandparents have Telegram while none of them have Instagram.

It's a chat app used by a much wider audience than Instagram. Instagram is predominantly used by younger people who want to live the digital social life.

Where are you based? In the USA I don’t know anyone using telegram. I only recently downloaded it to follow some channels related to the Israel/gaza conflict. I really like the app.
