What is the difference between WhatsApp and Telegram?
Telegram and WhatsApp differ in the ability to create Telegram channels for publishing content and the ability to create third-party software such as Telegram bots that can help manage customers or a community.
another difference is that on Telegram there are no size limits when sending files to other users while on WhatsApp you cannot send files that are too large
Telegram channels
Telegram channels are a way to share content with a group of people. Channels can be public or private.
Public channels can be found by anyone, while private channels can only be found by users who know the channel address.
The channels on Telegram are often vertical on a niche and gather enthusiasts and experts and allow you to be informed on a certain topic
Telegram groups
Telegram groups are a way to communicate with several people at the same time the maximum number of a group is 5000 members.
Groups can be public or private. Public groups can be found by anyone, while private groups can only be found by users who know the group address.
Telegram Bot
Telegram bots are accounts controlled by a program, rather than a person. Bots can send and receive messages , like other users. Bots can be used to make money with Telegram and for various functions, such as searching for information, creating surveys or managing a to-do list.
bots are the feature that differentiates Telegram from other instant messaging services
third- party applications that appear as automatic chats, are able to interact with users, answer questions and give information
for example there is a bot where after entering information such as your location and the type of fuel of your vehicle it gives you all the information: price, distance, the name of nearby distributors and a link with the location for Google Maps
