The problem is my mom, and non-technical friends are NOT on Telegram, so Whatsapp it is for the foreseeable future.


I got my in-laws over to Telegram and we migrated a large group that included lot of retired people over earlier this year ...

but my family is stubborn like myself and refuse to change.

Practical advice or anyone who decides to try:

- recommend it to friends at your age first.

- emphasize ease of use, not security (also I wouldn't even feel comfortable telling people that Telegram is more secure)

- both can be used free of charge so I am fine with communicating with my stubborn siblings on Whatsapp and everyone else on other platforms.
