    WhatsApp seems very conservative with adding new features. I generally feel the features they do decide to add are all pretty useful. Telegram on the other hand doesn't ever seem to slow down with the new features. Many of them seem great, but just as many I would never use. I'm still wondering why Telegram won't introduce end-to-end encryption as a default.

      e2e encryption makes it difficult to provide fully cross-platform messaging experience, this is probably why they are not looking at it

        They aren't implementing e2e by default because that would limit the amount of data they collect and sell to intelligence agencies.
