"Pocas personas fuera de la comunidad de fans de Telegram se dan cuenta de que la mayoría de las nuevas funciones en la mensajería aparecen primero en Telegram y luego son copiadas al carbón por WhatsApp hasta en los detalles más pequeños."
— Pavel Durov
Simplified Meaning:
People who aren't part of the Telegram user group often don't know that Telegram introduces many new messaging features before WhatsApp does. WhatsApp then adopts these features exactly as they are. Imagine a new restaurant that starts offering a special kind of pizza that no other restaurant has. After a while, a more popular restaurant nearby starts serving the same kind of pizza, copying it exactly. Most people might think the bigger restaurant came up with the idea, not realizing it was the smaller one who started it. This shows how sometimes original ideas come from less well-known places and are later taken up by more famous ones. If you use messaging apps, it’s interesting to know where the newest features really start before spreading to the ones you might use more often.
