[Opinion] Whatsapp and Telegram - They Co-exist!

Image
When Telegram first launched in 2013, it was really obvious for me to conclude that it was coming for Whatsapp. The developers being very active, kept on constantly adding new and useful features to their app. In fact, recently they just released a new video showing-off their 7-year journey of evolution! In 7 years, Telegram has grown to 400 million users and about as many features. Here’s a look back at some of the best updates (and memes) since 2013. https://t.co/OOnVmWPXlu pic.twitter.com/i72Eruhapf — Telegram Messenger (@telegram) August 17, 2020 Whatsapp launched in 2009 as a paid service (Yes!!!) - $1 /  ₹50 per year (back then), then eventually in 2016, they made it completely free for everyone due to the growing number of users and users = data = totally worth it !

Launched just a year back, let's dive-in for what this has on offer!

Android's default file explorer ('Files') has really evolved since its inception and is now better than ever in Android 10, but it has been only recently that it has reached to a level that I would call as 'usable' In 2016,  Neatbytes (dev) had deployed a huge overhaul to Solid Explorer which really caught my attention (UI things, you know!), coincidentally a few days after that, it was up for grabs ₹15 (roughly 2 cents) and it was a no-brainer for me and I grabbed it!
