Never EVER use Telegram. They have far too many issues.
If you must, use Whatsapp as the others here previously recommended. Otherwise, the best options are to just use Signal or—if you’re “adventurous”—SimpleX.
May I ask, why you are considering these two even though privacy-respecting encrypted messengers exist?
