In Response To Pavel Dorf’s Recent Claim, The CEO Of Whatsapp Says That He Provides Wrong Information To The Audience To Promote Telegram.

If you have been following the news, you know that last week, Pavel Dorf, the founder, and CEO of the Telegram messaging app, admitted in a tweet that WhatsApp is insecure and that users should stay away from it to protect their personal information. Now, the CEO of WhatsApp has also reacted to this issue by sending a tweet.

WhatsApp’s CEO’s words target “end-to-end encryption,”; A feature that Telegram does not use by default, and in a way, it can be called a significant weakness for this messenger. The CEO of WhatsApp says in part of his speech:

I do not use Telegram for private activities. Unlike WhatsApp, Telegram does not support default end-to-end encryption, and there is no way to enable it for groups; That means Telegram [always] has a copy of your messages, which worries me.

In addition, the CEO of WhatsApp emphasizes that Pavel Dorf made the claims above to grow his app, Telegram, and is upset that Telegram is trying to use misinformation to boost its growth.

It is interesting to know that Pavel Dorf has repeatedly claimed that end-to-end encryption in messengers such as WhatsApp has more of an advertising aspect; Because, ultimately, these messengers rely on cloud services such as Google Cloud or iCloud to back up information and the backup of messages exchanged in cloud services renders this encryption ineffective.

What is your opinion of users about the WhatsApp and Telegram conflict, and do you think end-to-end encryption should become a standard in messengers?
