Telegram Founder: TG Always Ahead of Cheap WhatsApp Imitators, Launches Content Creation Contest to Strike Back

BlockBeats News, May 15th. Telegram founder Pavel Durov announced on his personal channel, "Launching the first Content Creator Challenge with a simple goal: to create a viral video showcasing how Telegram always stays ahead of its cheap imitator, WhatsApp. We have found that WhatsApp has launched a smear campaign against Telegram, so we must fight back. We are no longer being polite — the gloves are off, and we are ready to battle."

"It's time to wake up WhatsApp users. They are stuck in the past, using a version of Telegram that was pioneered a long time ago and is now outdated and diluted. To help you get started on your creation, we have listed 30 key features that Telegram introduced first — all of which were later cloned by our green competitor. Of course, this list is not exhaustive. It doesn't even cover many features that Telegram users enjoy and that are still missing on WhatsApp — features that would take dozens of slides to explain. So we are not worried about WhatsApp trying to catch up with us — we are miles ahead."
