Hardly related to the OP, and Telegram secret chats have been audited multiple times.
On the other hand, Signal's "E2E" encrypted chats regularly have critical bugs such as those that send private image content to random people on your contacts list, an utterly inexcusable error that suggests poor engineering standards. [1]
I think I'll take audited E2E encryption over E2E encryption that fans out private images at random to your contacts.
