The secret chats are almost useless. Even setting aside the impossibility of syncing between devices the support is severely lacking: Telegram web? No[1], telegram desktop? Nope[2], telegram-cli? Yes, but the client is completely broken and abandoned[3].

"Well, I'm afraid there isn't. They are just not in high priority, many other important things first."
It seems stickers, funny bots and GIFs have more priority over security. I think this tells a lot.
