Thats true, Telegram has very good UX. But bullshit crypto with a closed server etc. :-(

  Indeed: signal proves that good UX and good security can coexist. Telegram proves that to have even better UX, you need to sacrifice security (and privacy).

    I don't think the latter is true. It feels like the Signal team just isn't interested in taking on work (even work done by others) to improve the UX. I can understand that they have limited funding and want to focus on the security features first and foremost, but that makes it really hard for me to get some of my friends to use it. Having said that, I agree that Signal's UX is not bad, just that it could be better.

      Stuff like multiple clients with shared chat history is a huge pain in the ass for full proper end to end encrypted chats. This is why whatsapp web uses your phone as a proxy and signal does some janky shit to work on multiple devices. Telegram went UX first and turned down the crypto so that I can install Telegram on a fresh laptop and I've instantly got the same chats, with history, as I do on my phone.

        I assume that means that Telegram, and any government with jurisdiction over it, also has your chats?
