If you use #Telegram and think that your conversations are encrypted, you are wrong.
99% of conversations on Telegram are plain-text and perfectly readable by telegram-people and the Russian administration.
It is not some weird technical trick. Telegram is *NOT* encrypted. Never was.
Marketing is (always) a lie.
Telegram only encrypt special "secret chats". If you don’t know what those are, then you are part of the unencrypted 99%. (and the 1% is badly encrypted).

TL;DR: you should really delete your Telegram account.
