📼 We’ve just launched our first-ever contest for content creators. The goal is simple: create a viral video showing how Telegram has always been years ahead of its cheap copycat — WhatsApp.

We’ve caught WhatsApp running smear PR campaigns against Telegram, so it’s only fair we hit back. No more playing nice — gloves off now 🥊

It’s time to wake WhatsApp users up. They’re trapped in the past, using late, watered-down versions of innovations Telegram pioneered long before.

To help you get started, we’ve included 30 major features that Telegram introduced first — all later cloned by our green rival. Obviously, this list isn’t exhaustive. It doesn’t even cover the many features Telegram users enjoy that still don’t exist on WhatsApp — those would take dozens of slides.

That’s why we’re not worried about WhatsApp trying to catch up with us — we’re too far ahead. Anyway, the $50,000 contest ends May 26 — check it out here.
