      By default, it is less safe than @WhatsApp, which makes dangerous for non-experts.https://twitter.com/CeBonVieuxJack/status/778594811687399424 …

      Did you take into account that the majority of users of WA store their entire chat histories not encrypted on Google Drive/iCloud?

      A citation would be helpful; looks opt-in to me. But in any case externalities are less relevant than app behavior itself.

          Your work is admirable, but respectfully, I believe it more helpful to respond to criticism through patch notes rather than Twitter.

          You can't "patch" intended behavior. Telegram provides built-in encrypted cloud for the users who need it.https://twitter.com/durov/status/778629097903779840 …

          Most users want backups. And if you don't build a secure one into your service, they will use one from Google or Apple.

          And real e2e for those who don't. While Whatsapp can switch off their "e2e" remotely from their server for any user at any time.

          This screen blocks your chats every few weeks, plus a red badge on the Settings tab until you "opt in". What would a non-expert do?pic.twitter.com/yqhM4107nv

          Fair criticism, and I agree with you here. Nexus to Facebook is also cause for concern. Much to improve all around; be first and win!

          How you can say WA is "safer", when it shares your information with third-parties even for business purposes!
