This allows easy access to your conversations across all of your devices, though it's not the same level of end-to-end encryption you get by default from other services.Įnd-to-end encryption is supported in Telegram, though you'll need to be using the Secret Chats feature to use it. In Telegram's case, all your regular messages (aka Cloud Chats) are encrypted using the client-server/server-client standard.

And even if you don't, it's just nice not having to worry about device limits the way you do with Signal and WhatsApp. If you use a lot of different gadgets and want to access your messages on all of them, Telegram is the clear winner. For now, WhatsApp recently rolled out offline WhatsApp support, meaning you can access your messages even if your phone is turned off or disconnected from wifi. WhatsApp may add multi-phone support in an upcoming update so that you can access messages on both your personal and work phones. Just four active devices are allowed per account, and when it comes to phones, WhatsApp can only be used one at a time. Similar to Signal, WhatsApp has strict limits on device connections. And if you switch between iOS and Android, WhatsApp recently added the option to move your chat history across platforms. There's also a Web client that will appease Chrome OS users.
The app is available for Android, iOS, PC, and Mac. WhatsApp is pretty similar to Signal on the availability front, though it does have a notable edge. Furthermore, you can only be logged in to Signal on one phone at a time.
You can log into your Signal account on multiple devices, though there is a limit of five device connections per account. Notably, there are no apps for Web or Chrome. However, you can download the Signal app on Android, iOS, Mac, Windows, and PC. When it comes to availability, Signal is the weakest of the bunch. So even if you have multiple phones and computers, you can log into your Telegram account on all of them and have it work without a hitch. One of the best things about Telegram is that there isn't a limit on how many devices you can log into at once.
