Hi, one reason is telegram payment. on the other hand these kind of telegram mini-apps can be the future of the e-shops because of the telegram great communication capabilities. there are many online shops using Instagram to sell their products, they can do better with telegram mini-apps in my opinion.

Do you know if WhatsApp will become capable of these types of mini apps soon?

  Already is capable to an extent, ive made orders with whatsapp chat based apps before Usually to order coffee (powered by shopify stores typically)

    Yeah but that is either via buttons or a link. I found later that WhatsApp is working on launching app type of functionality very soon via WhatsApp Flows.

      telegram have an internal ads feature, beside that there is other ways like advertising in popular channels, groups and bots. many people already use these kind of advertisements in Telegram.

  Anecdote: Both my parents and all grandparents have Telegram while none of them have Instagram. It's a chat app used by a much wider audience than Instagram. Instagram is predominantly used by younger people who want to live the digital social life.

    Where are you based? In the USA I don’t know anyone using telegram. I only recently downloaded it to follow some channels related to the Israel/gaza conflict. I really like the app.
