Ah yes, definitely go with a messenger that has known vulnerabilities in its crappy encryption protocol, instead of one with an actual secure E2EE implementation.
Feel free to go any way you want. I’m not asking you to use telegram.
You can still make encrypted backups
Spend time for that, and keep them where? Maybe also need a feature to sync them between mobile and desktop?
Only Telegram is too incompetent to do that.
Not an implementation issue but a trust issue.
Just stop lying. Telegram Secret Chats have been introduced in 2017
both Signal and WhatsApp have had E2EE (including for group chats!) for much longer.
Whatsapp had them inctorudec in 2016.
Are you mad that Signal is focusing on privacy and security by improving their encryption protocol, instead of wasting time on some UI garbage?
I’m perfectly fine with that. More apps using electron means less chance for my pc to run garbage applications on a regular basis.
keep in mind that Telegram can read all of your messages, as well as hand them over to governments.
Keep in mind that any person in your secret chats can read your message, copy or screenshot it and hand it to anyone else. Those people know much better if you’re doing anything sketchy (or something actually good but against their beliefs), than an app developer.
