Currently the means of communication through instant text messaging are essential in the business and personal environment, this is a new form of communication used to massively disseminate information of any kind that giving the proper use can yield satisfactory results, there are several instant text messaging applications but currently only two are at the forefront as far as messaging is concerned, the two applications are WhatsApp and Telegram.
WhatsApp is a text messaging application for the latest generation of mobile devices, it is used to send text and multimedia messages between users who have it, it is important to note that not all cell phones can use this application because within its requirements there are some requirements to install it, on the other hand Telegram is an application that like its opponent WhatsApp is used to send text and multimedia messages although it has features that differentiate it.
In the technological world there are few debates that generate as much sensation as the one generated by the constant battles between WhatsApp and Telegram, since both applications are frequently updated to offer the best version of each one to their users. Although WhatsApp currently leads Telegram in number of users, Telegram has increased its number of users after WhatsApp's controversy about the security of its messages.
One of the latest updates that Telegram made and that can finish giving the boost it needs to compete more closely against WhatsApp is the payment 2.0 that is being implemented in Telegram, at this time the platform expanded its payment functionality to all types of people and from now on merchants can accept credit card payments natively in all types of chat, using up to several payment providers which are integrated with third parties. Users will be able to make payments through messaging, using bot, personal or group chat.
Telegram has improved everything related to security, because being a free application is aware that privacy is an important part of users, so in payments 2.0 does not receive any commissions and does not store the data of payments or transactions made by users. Credit card data is sent directly to the suppliers who made the payment and this information is shared with the merchant so that they can send the product to the user who made the purchase.
