Telegram isn’t encrypted at all by default, and its encryption scheme is sketchy.

  Exactly. WhatsApp still wins by having the message encrypted

  Eh? It's encrypted by default. Not E2E, though, although that is an option which you can choose to use.

    That's a bit disingenuous. Everything is encrypted these days, there's virtually nothing that doesn't use TLS. Therefore, when someone says "encrypted", it's a good bet they mean E2E.

      Telegram non-E2E is more than just TLS, though.
      • StavrosK 6y ago
        What more do they do? I'm not aware.

          It is documented here: https://core.telegram.org/mtproto https://core.telegram.org/mtproto These layers are used in addition to any encryption done on the transport layer.

            Fair enough, but they have the keys for that layer, I don’t see how that’s an improvement over TLS.
