    Also it seems there is still no proofs those vector attacks are being used at all.

    Ah yes, definitely go with a messenger that has known vulnerabilities in its crappy encryption protocol, instead of one with an actual secure E2EE implementation.

    no history is being saved in this mode

    You can still make encrypted backups of encrypted messages, as can be seen on WhatsApp or Signal

    and the desktop client doesn’t support it

    I don’t know what you mean, both Signal and WhatsApp have managed to ship desktop clients with full E2EE support for years now. Only Telegram is too incompetent to do that.

    Telegram got implemented e2e between 2 users before other messengers got it working in any form of group chats

    Just stop lying. Telegram Secret Chats have been introduced in 2017, both Signal and WhatsApp have had E2EE (including for group chats!) for much longer. Signal has had (encrypted) group chats in 2014, back when it was called TextSecure: https://signal.org/blog/the-new-textsecure/ And WhatsApp followed in 2016.

    I’ll think about it if they ditch electron.

    Are you mad that Signal is focusing on privacy and security by improving their encryption protocol, instead of wasting time on some UI garbage? This shows your priorities really well. Keep using unencrypted Telegram, for the cool stickers and convenient cloud backup, and keep in mind that Telegram can read all of your messages, as well as hand them over to governments.

      Feel free to go any way you want. I’m not asking you to use telegram.

      Spend time for that, and keep them where? Maybe also need a feature to sync them between mobile and desktop?

      Only Telegram is too incompetent to do that.

      Not an implementation issue but a trust issue.

      https://telegram.org/evolution see October 2013.

      Whatsapp had them inctorudec in 2016.

      I’m perfectly fine with that. More apps using electron means less chance for my pc to run garbage applications on a regular basis.

      keep in mind that Telegram can read all of your messages, as well as hand them over to governments.

      Keep in mind that any person in your secret chats can read your message, copy or screenshot it and hand it to anyone else. Those people know much better if you’re doing anything sketchy (or something actually good but against their beliefs), than an app developer.
