Telegram is not end to end encrypted, and thus not suitable for such uses due to insecurity.

  Telegram has cloud encryption via MTProto 2.0. The servers use a distributed key generation mechanism.

    Cloud encryption is just HTTPs + encryption at rest (only claimed, not verified). They hold the keys, irrespective of how many proprietary protocols they wrap over the message. A great product tho! I used saved messages extensively!

        In the end, they hold the keys irrespective of how many algorithms they wrap on top. I do not feel it is any different from Google Chat, Twitter DMs, etc. They do have a lot of censorship resistant and anti-MITM attack features in between, but they hold the keys by default I use it for convenience and amazing features, not for security!
