We cannot deny that the controversies that affect WhatsApp always are welcome on Telegram since they allow Pavel Durov's messaging platform to grow at a higher rate than usual.

The problem is always the same. Yeah I know it's hard to find our friends on TelegramNor do I tell you how complicated it must be to find them in Signal, the most secure application in the world of messaging, an application that is widely used in the corporate sphere, but not among the general public.
