Frequently Asked Questions
Why switch from Telegram?
Telegram does not encrypt standard chats or group messages end-to-end. Your messages are stored in readable form on Telegram's servers. WeTalkin encrypts everything by default with zero-knowledge architecture, providing the genuine privacy that Telegram's standard chats lack.
Can I still use Telegram channels after switching?
Yes. Telegram channels for news and public information do not need encryption. Keep Telegram for public content consumption while using WeTalkin for private messaging. The two apps serve complementary purposes.
Is WeTalkin as feature-rich as Telegram?
WeTalkin provides messaging, voice and video calls, group chats, file sharing, and team workspaces—all encrypted. Telegram has unique features like massive public channels and bots. For private communication, WeTalkin offers richer security features than Telegram.
