- **No, telegraph will not replace [Whatsapp](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/94934/how-do-i-open-a-pdf-from-whatsapp)** since few people are aware of it, and Whatsapp is so well-known that consumers are unlikely to try any other messaging software.
- End-to-end encryption is provided by the platform, which is based on the concept of privacy. This means that only the sender and receiver can see the talks.
