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 …

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?

The reason Telegram Messenger is referred to be an encrypted messenger is because when MTProto encryption was introduced by Telegram, Whatsapp was not using end-to-end encryption. So, Telegram was deemed to be more secure than Whatsapp back in those days.
