Every since [Facebook bought WhatsApp](http://techcrunch.com/2014/02/19/facebook-buying-whatsapp-for-16b-in-cash-and-stock-plus-3b-in-rsus/) more and more of the people I know switch to [Telegram](https://telegram.org). One of the main reasons they choose Telegram is because it's "secure" and Telegram itself seems really keen on being seen as secure, privacy-focused WhatsApp alternative.

You know, at least WhatsApp does not claim to be secure.
