This isn't good advice for trying to show someone their messages aren't being sent in clear text. It could be encrypted using a weak cipher or have other implementation bugs that make it trivial for a nation state to decrypt it. You need to be able to look at the application's source code to tell what encryption it's using and if it's secure enough.
- maqp 6y agoWireshark would show group messages in Telegram are indeed encrypted. However, they are encrypted only in-transit, meaning the server will see 100% of group chats. This can not be trivially detected with wireshark hence the advice to use the analyzer is useless and downright dangerous. It's like using a radiation detector to find cancer.
