Telegram founder Pavel Durov criticized WhatsApp (owned by Meta, banned in Russia as extremist) for running ads on Telegram channels targeting Apple users. Durov called it a “desperate” move, noting WhatsApp traditionally relied on Western media for promotion. The ads alleged Telegram has excessive ads and device overheating issues. Durov dismissed the claims, urging WhatsApp to invest in tech instead of ads. He asserted Telegram is “years ahead” of WhatsApp in development, with the gap widening monthly.
