I started to use telegram from early 2015 on my friend recommendation. Telegram was new at that time  but since then every single update always included a major feature. It improved from good to superb. From sticker feauture to thousands of awesome bots. The reply and forward feature and many others. This app kept on improving and improving and provides you much more then any other messenger. My advice: Tell your friends to switch to it. You will love it. Peace.
