Can someone explain to me why MtProto is not considered proper encryption? Genuinely asking, not challenging. At least since version 2.0 it seems it's using AE

Can someone explain to me why MtProto is not considered proper encryption? Genuinely asking, not challenging. At least since version 2.0 it seems it's using AES encryption: https://core.telegram.org/mtproto/description https://core.telegram.org/mtproto/description

By default its not e2e encrypted and if you want to use e2e you lose lots of capability. That is simply not acceptable in a modern messenger.

  Speaking as someone who regularly uses private chats, what capability?

    Secret chats are tied to one single device, which may be ok for some people. The bigger disadvantage is that you cannot have group chats that are end to end encrypted. Only person to person chats are allowed as secret chats.

    - Group Chat - Multi Device Seems to me that are some of the most useful things about modern chat. Also, why not just use a chat app that is save by default. The whole concept of private chat is insane to me.
