Really? This is the MacOS one version 2.5.1 right? I'm looking and I'm not seeing the option for creating a new secret chat. Is this not the native one? Because the other one had a higher version number and I was running it on Linux for a while.

  Telegram for macOS is the one that's just called Telegram on the App Store. Current version is 7.3. The cross-platform Electron version of Telegram is called Telegram-lite on the App Store. The secret chat button is hidden behind 3 levels on the macOS native app. You have to click the contact's icon > More > Secret. It's the same deal on iOS.

    It's not hidden at all. On the left pane next to search there's a "New chat" button on both chat list and contact list, where you can select "New group", "New secret chat", "New Channel".

>the cross-desktop one is electron-based I don't think so, the one I use on Linux uses Qt.

  Ah, I stand corrected. It used to be back then (very visible webkit process tree), long time since I moved to the Swift one. Here's the various current app details: https://telegram.org/apps#source-code https://telegram.org/apps#source-code
