Coincidently, I deleted my Whatsapp account today. Apart from the fact that I can't really judge yet how much more secure Telegram is, I find Telegram also much more usable. Let alone being able to edit messages when swipe-writing words selected totally different words than I had intended. How often did I send a second Whatsapp message just because the first was full of swipe detection errors.
It pains me to read these comments even on HN. Telegram is strictly less secure than Whatsapp. Telegram is not designed with security in mind and if I was a TLA I'd be pretty happy about people using it.
