> For that reason alone, Telegram‘s "secure chat" is anything but. I didn't think that particular Telegram feature was affected in any way by any option, only that they needed to be started explicitly but were always secure no matter what. So I immediately went looking through my settings and found an option that leaks tracking info by default, even in Secure Chats. Signal, by default, routes all calls through their server. The option of using P2P connections for better latency and call quality is opt-in. Telegram? See [1]. I found no evidence that Secure Chat calls are any different from regular calls. 1: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/telegram-leaks-ip-addresses-by-default-when-initiating-calls/ https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/telegram-leak...
