Telegram is NOT an "encrypted messenger." It supports end-to-end encryption ONLY if it is turned on (not by default) and ONLY for single-user chats, never for groups the way Signal, WhatsApp and iMessage do by default. I can't believe that this myth persists.https://twitter.com/wiczipedia/status/1349341628855693315 …

Somehow Telegram has succeeded in marketing itself as an encrypted messenger, and that is utterly baffling to me!

why are you, or why should we be so obsessed on end-to-end encryption as being the sole way of ensuring content privacy? AFAIK Telegram chats and groups are still encrypted although with a different cloud-based mechanism (See MTProto 2.0) Doesn't this qualify it to be encrypted?

I guess my experience in Russia and Ukraine colors how I think of it. It was and is used messaging there because of its encryption value.

What encryption value, though? It has much, much less encryption value compared to WhatsApp, Signal, iMessage and a million other apps out there. I know it's widely believed to have some extra encryption value but it's just not the case.
