privacy is “in the DNA” of WhatsApp so you cannot delete a message there.

Same privacy as Facebook offers.

Telegram is much better than any other popular messenger. Pity it is owned by Russians.

Telegram doesn't use end-to-end encryption by default, so it would be a bad alternative to WhatsApp even if it was owned by Mother Teresa. At least if you care about privacy.

> Pity it is owned by Russians.
