Put it back on, and get some of your friends to add it too.
Telegram has iCloud Drive support, so it can send whatever files you have on it, like spreadsheets etc, while WhatsApp can only send the basic photos, videos and contacts.
Just tried it and it seems to be clever enough to switch you back to the homepage....will try again...but looks to be clever enough to stop it..
Your iPhone works as a relay, that's also why they remind you to use it over WiFi to save your data volume.
That doesn't stop them making it available on iPad, why do people seem to keep using that flawed idea as a reason. Viber does it. The whatsapp/Facebook team can easily make it work.
Actually, back when iMessage came out, there was a lot of talk that Apple we're going to release a version of messages on windows.
I know, sadly.
Easier said than done. A lot of people are stuck in their ways.
Why the hate for Whatsapp? It's fast, easy to use and very widespread. What do you miss or which feature isn't built into it, that so many people here act like it's an unusable mess? Apart from security reasons (but even there whatsapp did a lot of things in the past) I can't see the problem.
its not an excuse ... he asked why he cant. thats why. you "could" also potentially maybe probably unlikely use it on a smart-dishwasher. doesnt mean u can right now
We should start some sort of Telegram evangelism cult (like Guy Kawasaki with Apple) to convert people. I hate Whatsapp. But no one will switch because with this type of service, its about the contacts. I bet you can create a Facebook alternative, but no one will use it because there is no one on it.
I believe no one company should control any service. Given that Facebook paid 20B for this this, they are probably trying to get their money back somehow.

You're delusional if you think only Android users use whatsapp. It might not be used much where you live or among your social circles but whatsapp is very popular worldwide on Android and iOS.
lol not sure why you're getting all upset.
it's true. if i have an iOS device, i can just iMessage anyone i want in the world as long as they have an iOS device. if they have an android, they will say "please get whatsapp to message me" ..
no iOS user has EVER messaged me on whatsapp, EVER.
the only reason i have it is because i work with people who are still using an inferior product (android) and i need to be in a group chat with these people.

It's not 'why he can't' though. The why is really that the developers are just lazy. Viber can do it and they use phone number in the same way as WhatsApp. People claiming that 'it's tied to a phone number' are simply just wrong and Viber proves them wrong.
no one i know uses iMessage unless i start a conversation. they just like the whole stalking aspect of WhatsApp too much. i remember one time my aunt kept trying to get in touch with my cousin like OMG SHE HASNT BEEN ON WHATSAPP SINCE 9:24 AM!!! SOMETHING IS WRONG. turns out my cousin was writing a german exam at the time xD
but yeah id love for people to be more active on iMessage so i can just use my mac to reply
I have a couple of friends that have iOS and, despite me messaging on iMessage, they always reply on whatsapp. Annoying, but oh well.
this thread proves people are likely being paid to promote Telegram. no sane person shows hate for a product and love for another in the same post. Also if you notice it comes down to since facebook bought them. did facebook eat your lunch?
I switched to Telegram after searching for reviews of secure messaging services using end-to-end encryption. If I had ended up using another, such as Threema, then I'd be advocating that instead.
