Telegram is not serious about security & privacy at all, for example:
1. It does not support end-to-end-encrypted (E2EE) group chat at all.
2. It does not enable E2EE chat by default.
3. "Secret Chat" (the only E2EE encrypted chat) experience is deliberated nerfed, it's not available on PC / Web and can only be initiated with a buried-in-dot-menu option in phone ap.
4. It had multiple weird 0-click attack surface in the past. [0]
In addition, Telegram always prefers usability over privacy, it does not do tradeoff, more like 100% usability 0% privacy. Users like this, but I don't know what to think about it.
[0] Signal isn't any better on this though, they refused to add an option to disable their video/audio call stack for those who don't use it to do attack-surface reduction.
