Recently Social Networking site Facebook had blocked the links from its potential rival Tsu.co and now the Facebook owned messaging app is reported to be blocking links from its rival Telegram app. Even though WhatsApp allows its users to share Telegram links but these links are not considered as hyper links. The URL's from Telegram just appear as unlinked texts.
It might seem a bit disappointing and discriminating for a popular app like WhatsApp to start blocking links of other competing apps. Currently the block is only applicable for android users,while Telegram links can still be shared iOS app.
It has also been reported at Telegram's official website it is written that " Facebook seems to have taken down our page for no apparent reason. We're trying to figure out what happened and how to take it back".
In a survey conducted by Gadget360, they had reported that WhatsApp not only block links like telegram.me and telegram.org but also links such as telegram.notme, and telegram.com which are not even associated with Telegram App.
Telegram App, launched in the Year 2013, has showed a rapid rise in its customers with an average of 15 billion daily messages sent via the app per day, as reports from November 2015.
