      And on the official app it isn’t called end to end encryption or even a setting toggle. It’s called secret chat and clicking on it opens a chat from the original chat. The only difference I see is a little lock icon where an emoji usually is.

            @linux_user_6967 @Goun Telegram’s end-to-end encryption isn’t enabled by default. You have to specifically choose to start an encrypted chat. Assuming you trust MTProto though, there’s no indication they’re otherwise implemented poorly.
