Telegram Messenger 17+

I like telegram, and I mostly use it for telegram channels rather than conversations, but I just researched that telegram doesn’t have end-to-end encryption, it’s an option available when you start a “secret chat”, or “secure chat” which is also called, but it’s weird try to explain to people that you want to start a “secret chat” it feels like you have something to hide, like you’re about to scam them or ask them for nudes idk, when you only want to have a standard in privacy, even whatsapp has end-to-end encryption in their app, even one of the companies with the greatest threats to privacy has that, and telegram which claims to be a privacy conscious company doesn’t have it by default, every chat should be end-to-end encrypted by default and not require you to do a “process” just to have something that basic

I know it’s more difficult to add that function to channels and I only ask that function to normal chats (one to one) if necessary, as I said I like telegram pretty much, and if that change is made I will happily make telegram my everyday chat

If you’re a telegram developer I’d really love if you considered that and did your best to implement it, and if you’re another user it would help if you wrote a review requesting the same so maybe they see it and decide to implement it seeing that people do care and want that

OVERALL If you’re tired of companies like facebook reading your messages, yes they really do, it’s time to up your game. Telegram and Signal are both great apps, Telegram being a bit easier, and polished. Telegram chats use two modes. In standard mode messages are encrypted and stored on their servers. In “padlock” mode messages are encrypted and stored on your device. Both are secure, however in “padlock” mode if you, for instance, buy a tablet and install Telegram it won’t show your messages from other devices. Remember, enable touch ID on your phone/iPad/macOS device and Telegram, otherwise anyone could physically access the device and read your conversations. SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENT FOR DEVS It could use one improvement, when you share via iOS it needs to have both the standard AND a “padlock” icon for secure chat. Otherwise you’ll end up with two different chats with each friend. Until then you need to select share, Telegram, and manually pick the right chat.

Also, make the “read” checkmark color customizable or bold. Or better use an “o” for unread and a check for read.

Hey, I’ve been using Telegram for over 10+ years and I haven’t had any problems with this application whatsoever everything works great but, there is one issue that I have with this application and that is the inability to create a group video chat that is why I can only give telegram 3 stars. I honestly believe that is a crucial disadvantage to this application I say that because, I have family and friends that live all over the world whether it be in different states or different countries and we all have telegram on our phones. That being said we would like to I’ll be able to talk in a video group chat with each other which we are unable to because this application doesn’t provide that option. So therefore since telegram doesn’t provide a video group chat option we have to download another application to be able to do that Task. Which in my opinion is extremely ridiculous because you should be able to perform the test on this app as well. Instead of making people waste valuable space on their phones by download in other apps to perform the test where y’all can provide that ability on your app so we don’t have to download other apps to perform that and we could save space on our Devices.
