    telegram is not encrypted by default, and does its best to make you forget to enable it for each individual contact. if you want to do a group chat, you’re out of luck.

    Telegram is only (partially) secure for pedantic power users, which most people aren’t.

        so, relative to pretty much all other messaging services, it might as well not be.

        You’re saying “by default not everyone can read your messages, only you, the recipient, telegram themselves and anyone who they might decide to share them with, with neither your consent, nor knowledge”

        When compared to “nobody except you and the recipient” that becomes effectively equivalent to “nothing”.

        also, not end-to-end ever when it comes to group chats
