"很少有人知道,大多数新的消息功能首先出现在Telegram上,然后被WhatsApp复制到最小的细节,这一点只有Telegram的粉丝社区之外的少数人意识到。"
— 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.
