Most people who I know use Telegram(me included) use it because it's frankly the nicest(fast, looks good) Messenger out there, not because of its security features. Personally I don't use the secret chat functionality; I would use Signal if I wanted to communicate securely.

- sneak 10y agoI don't choose my car for its seatbelts, but if they are broken, I reject the car.
- marksomnian 10y agoComparing the criteria of cars and messaging apps is futile.
- fwn 10y agoI am certain that this was a metaphor, not an actual comparison.
- tpush 10y agoRight, because you use seat belts every time you drive. So they are always a factor. I do not use Telegrams security features though, so whether they are any good isn't relevant to me(and many other people).
- sneak 10y agoWhether you use them or not, intel agencies use their lack. This is the naïve "I have nothing to hide" dodge about privacy.
- tpush 10y agoAs I already said, if I was concerned about intel agencies capturing my messages I'd use proper OSS encryption via Signal, not Telegram. There simply are situations where I do not care whether my messages are encrypted or not, in which case I use the app that works the best for me, which in this case is Telegram.
