You can encrypt each message separately for each device, that's still end-to-end encryption.
- Andrew_nenakhov 7y agoYeah, and load it on a completely new device by providing only login and password, too?? (Like Telegram does)
- boring_twenties 7y agoAh, no. I missed the part about it being a completely new device. This obviously only works for devices that were already authenticated when the message was first sent.
- Andrew_nenakhov 7y agoThat's the point - Durov bashes WhatsApp for 'inconvenience' and supposed lack of privacy, but in reality this inconvenience is a result of real presence of privacy. In contrast, Telegram's convenience is a result of a real lack of privacy, because to work this way it has to have a way to decrypt user messages. Of course, they tell tales on how deeply it is all encrypted on T's servers, and that only select few trusted engineers have keys, but those are just tall tales.
