Some people say it's really privacy-giving and that you should use it as a privacy alternative. Others say it's alao on the big tech side. What's going on with telegram, really?

So, no Whatsapp alternative? Sorry, I'm kinda slow.

If you don't understand the cryptography enough that you have to ask about telegram, just use Signal. It's the best designed app for the security of most people, it doesn't have any privacy/security footgun, and has a pretty good threat model while not cutting corners on usability.
