You can't really compare Signal to Telegram. Signal is a privacy first chat app. Nothing more. Telegram is a entire platform with channels, bots, payments, games, and more. Its more akin to Discord or even WeChat. It can't really be e2ee and do all that. Instead, when you need e2ee for a specific conversation, it has Secret Chats. Its just another feature of Telegram; not its main purpose.
- orangepurple 4y agoTelegram has e2ee in the form of "secret chat"
- palata 4y agoWhich you mostly don't want to use if you use Telegram. The nice features of Telegram are the ones that are not e2ee!!! Having secret chats is mostly for marketing, to pretend it's private. But it's mostly confusing.
