Not encrypted by default afaik.
- partyboat1586 6y agoYeah you have to manually start an encrypted chat. I always thought that increased the sense of security since you have the lock symbol and all but apparently people prefer encryption by default.
- theshrike79 6y agoThey're all encrypted, but only specifically created Secret Chats are end-to-end encrypted.
- CultOfSkaro 6y agoEncrypted in transit... But stored plain-text accessible in Telegram’s cloud. They store all your metadata, full contact list, all conversations, all media and attachments, etc. If you value your privacy, Telegram is the absolute worst and one of the most dangerous messengers out there. Telegram should never be recommended as a secure alternative. It’s insecure right to their core. Heck, even their secret chat crypto is a joke. Telegram should be avoided at all costs for private and/or sensitive communication. Even WhatsApp is wayyy more secure.
