Not the same thing. The flaw in Telegram happens with the group feature.

  Are you sure? I wanted to install Telegram and it insisted on having the contacts permission from the get go. I think it's sending contacts to their database so they can match friends. Isn't there a secure messaging app that doesn't require a phone number and doesn't ask me to upload my contacts?

    Matrix doesn't ask for anything. But I wouldn't use it for super critical things, cause the user interface (of the Riot client) is confusing enough that I'm afraid I'll make mistakes in verifying devices or fingerprints or something. Weird things happened when I tried it myself (I got more device IDs than devices, and I'm not sure where the other ones came from ... )
