Gregory's Server@atomicpoet I think it's far worse not to have cloudsync or usernames (to hide your phone number in group chats) than the lack of E2EE as a default.
#Telegram DOES offer E2EE with Secret Chats but the media is foaming about it not being the default.
It's by design! The vast majority wants the feature set like all your photos, files etc. listed all the way back till 2016. And filesize limits that are modern like 1--2GB files if you want to send a HD clip without compression.
The media hates TG

Still there is a lot of mentions about Telegram compared to community owned or standardized solutions.
Telegram has the best client app I've ever seen, period. But the service is not so good.
Also it's not true that cloud sync somewhat cancels E2E.
