Telegram not tried it, but judging by the fact that know about it, desire does not arise. If try, the more of interest, its practical use in the circle of my communication is very doubtful, except for some specific tasks, the problems of a particular group of persons. On the one hand, it is really good for its some features done, such as the possibility of editing posts, independent work on different devices and the like, it is appreciated in other messengers. But much of the rich set of features needed rarely if ever necessary only to users with special needs. For example, how many times a year, the average user will want to send via instant messenger file larger than 100MB? Or what percentage of users do not have enough web version and need a native version for Linux? Also, in my opinion, Telegram with their channels, bots, huge groups and the media capabilities climbs into the territory of social networks, websites, cloud storage, and others. Services. And it is necessary to climb messenger? The developers ignore such popular items as the Russian language in the set and video. In addition, with respect to the RF Durov climbed into the bottle and ran to the lockout. Over the first clumsy attempts to lock laughed, but as a result is now on Google Play, see Telegram support answers to user complaints for July:
"Unfortunately, Telegram continues to be blocked in Russia, so it works intermittently. At such times, you need to wait, or to enable the proxy."
And the site telegram.org just will not go. Yes, advanced users and those who really need the special features Telegram, certainly will put the Russian language and bypass blockages. And the rest is to make stupid can not or do not want. Therefore, the main problem of the messenger - the lack of popularity, and will not be solved. Therefore, most likely, in Russia, he did not become a mass means of communication, while remaining a favorite tool of IT specialists and advanced users, or people with specific needs.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp sells primarily massively popular features - video calling long-running, audiozvonkov quality is quite decent, with zero Russification issues, transfer of files of any format for a long time and did have increased to a reasonable 100 MB. The problem of independent parallel work on different devices is also achieved. The interface is simple, easy to use and logical, work stable, moderate consumption of resources (Viber and Skype eat more), no unnecessary frills. And there are no issues with the locks.
Vatsapa expected integration with Facebook and Instagramom. Do not know whether this is good, because himself specifically by these social networks do not use, but a telegram possible to rely on the two large social networks there may therefore conducted an attempt to develop their own environment.
