Sure.  Much better,  telegram has   an official desktop version, you don't have to be connected to your phone.

And what in the world makes you think if a few million people signed up and a few days and started using it as much as whatsaap that it won't crash? I could bet on it that it will. Especially since the reason that people love it is because they dont limit what and how big of files you can send, and an increase of that will have it crash, no doubt.

Telegram is way more sophisticated then whatsapp,  and in fact it has much heavier usage and it doesn't crash.
