Unlike WhatsApp, it has a desktop client and you can use the same account on multiple devices at the same time.
It’s good for sharing images or videos instead of sending a text messages. Especially if not on an iPhone.
Its fine, if you have people using it you must talk with. They have rolled their own encryption standard which is always a risk, but they do have a open source client they support which is nice.
If your asking about what platform you should use overall without anchored social contacts… Signal is the gold standard right now.
The school I used to teach at used it for official communication among admin and faculty. Never used it since.

Nah because it’s one of those things I’ve only ever seen recommended by people who get ratio’d everywhere else, meth heads on Grindr and sexual deviants like pedophiles and zoophiles.
It’s pretty similar with other privacy focused messaging apps, too. The main audience for them are people getting around the law to share stuff. The only time that it’s not shady, is if they’re organizing a revolution or something to fight tyranny; which is not as big of a group as the others.
It’s not a meta property. Aside from that, it does what I need it to do, that is serve as a bridge between the apple walled garden and the android ecosystem until standards take hold again in the mobile space. The market fragmentation sucks.

It’s better than Meta’s data-scraping WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger. At the time I moved to it, it was more user friendly than Signal.
Assuming of course you don’t mean sending an actual telegram, because I don’t live in the early 1900s when that was cool.
Not really. At least WhatsApp is End to end encrypted by default and Telegram is not. Use Signal instead.
I use it because a lot of Ukraine war bloggers are on there. Pretty much the only reason I have it
