Telegram’s secret chat servers disallow forwarding messages, are not backed up on Telegram servers, and users can send self-destructing messages, similar to Snapchat. Some bots claim to delete all messages, but I am yet to come across a one to prove that. Discord will let you delete messages in channels and direct messages only that are up to two weeks old. Telegram allows you to delete any message that you sent within 48 hours. Meanwhile, Discord has come under the radar for a privacy policy that doesn’t respect users’ data or even privacy. Telegram is owned by a non-profit company who has shared source codes for their web and mobile apps. Telegram then published an article on their blog to explain the difference. However, Telegram's decision to use their in-house encryption tech MTProto over existing Signal protocol has drawn some flak. That is one reason why business users prefer Telegram over Discord which is geared more towards gamers and offers no encryption. Telegram has been banned in Russia because the founders decided not to share their users’ data with the government. You can also use the Secret Chat feature for a more secured chat or file exchange. Telegram Groups and Channels are end-to-end encrypted offering better peace of mind to users who can either be professional or casual. We'll take a look at how these two apps differ from each other and which one is a better option for you. Both the apps are free, easy to use, allow users to invite others easily, and offer many ways to communicate. You can find communities with users interested in a diverse range of topics and categories. I am sure that several other communities use Discord and Telegram equally. Most ICOs and blockchain projects use Telegram for making announcements and engaging in discussions. For that, I have been using Telegram lately.

On the other hand, as I like to follow the blockchain related news and stay updated on projects that interest me.

Also, it vaguely reminds me of Yahoo! Group Chats. I recently started using it and find it engaging as well as fun. While I am not as active in the gaming scene as I used to be back when CS 1.6 was a thing, I do enjoy using Discord, a VoIP app built for the gamers. That is just not possible in a mobile messaging app like WhatsApp.

Both apps allow chat messages, voice calling over IP, and creating large groups of users. Telegram and Discord are quickly changing the way users, companies, and gamers interact with one another, share information, and make announcements.
