Interesting that they don't enable encryption by default 🤣
I prefer simplex but your statement is not exactly true.
They do offer encryption by default, but end to end encryption is opt in.
Not sure why Tucker didn't ask the most obvious question: why isn't Telegram #e2ee by default? At least for one-to-one chats.
They've answered this before. Their reason is that it prevents carrying chats over to multiple devices.
Yes but doesn't encrypted backup and restore solve this? Anyway, hopefully they prioritise privacy over that...
No I'm talking about using the same account on multiple phones at the same time. If you go into a "secret" chat (encrypted) it only shows up on one device. They're not doing it like WhatsApp yet where it relays the messages.
Thaaazzz Right...
