End-to-end encryption is not just some buzz word, and Telegram requires you to opt-in to encryption, making it absurdly insecure by default.

Telegram DOES NOT HAVE E2EE on desktop and it is opt-in on phones. Briar is the best choice on phones, and it is also available on desktop which is under development. For now, Ricochet is the best choice on desktop (only). I get that it would be nice to have a piece of software working on both desktop and phone, but still. For that I just use Element.
