๐ Grok picked WhatsApp
Following Pavel Durovโs post criticizing Mark Zuckerberg, an X user asked Grok to compare WhatsApp and Telegram.
Elon Muskโs chatbot replied that both are strong platforms and that which one is โbetterโ depends on user needs:
โWhatsApp (3B+ users) offers default end-to-end encryption, reliable calls, and simplicity. Telegram (1B users) excels in features like large groups, channels, and bots, with encryption in secret chats.โHowever, Grok added that โif privacy is keyโ, users should choose WhatsApp. Previously, Durovโs Code reported exclusively on why the planned Telegram and Grok integration did not proceed. โ๏ธ https://durovscode.com/why-telegram-grok-no-deal
