Telegram Launches Content Creator Competition to Counter WhatsApp

According to BlockBeats, Telegram founder Pavel Durov announced the launch of the first content creator competition on his personal channel. The aim is to produce a viral video showcasing how Telegram consistently outpaces its imitator, WhatsApp. Durov stated that WhatsApp has initiated a smear campaign against Telegram, prompting the need for a counteraction. He emphasized that the gloves are off and they are ready to engage. Durov expressed the need to awaken WhatsApp users, who he believes are stuck using outdated versions of features that Telegram pioneered long ago. To assist creators, Telegram has compiled a list of 30 major features that Telegram introduced first, which were later replicated by WhatsApp. This list is not exhaustive and does not cover many features exclusive to Telegram users, which WhatsApp still lacks. Durov confidently asserted that Telegram remains far ahead of WhatsApp in terms of innovation and functionality.
