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.

      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.
