This is a common wrong understanding.

On the other hand Telegram chats are by default unencrypted ... you have to specifically start a “Secret Chat” to benefit from end-to-end encryption.
- lynndotpy 6y agoCorrection here, Telegram is using transport encryption, while Signal and WhatsApp use end-to-end encryption.
- 7v3x3n3sem9vv 6y agoAddendum: Signal uses end-to-end encryption AND transport encryption.
- KingMachiavelli 6y agoHmm, that's pretty interesting. Especially since even Matrix public channels (not sure if only by default or required but it seems like all public groups are plain text) are unencrypted.
