I wouldn't say it doesn't offer E2EE by default. It offers private chats, which are E2EE, right there and almost as easy to initiate as the regular chats.
I used Telegram in E2EE mode with someone initially, but later we decided the multi-device sync and web chat were so much more useful to us, it trumped the desirability of E2EE and we switched.
Those features together would be better of course.
- newscracker 3y agoApps like Signal and Wire have shown that multi-device E2EE is possible with messages synced across. While I believe that Telegram is far ahead on a lot of features, the lack of multi-device sync for “secret chats” is mainly because Telegram hasn’t spent enough time or effort on it.
