Never been a fan tbh. Not having all chats encrypted by default always felt a bit sneaky.

To go along with that, Telegram doesn't make it easy to set up an encrypted chat. First, you have to set up a regular chat, then tap on the profile image of the person you are messaging, then tap the 3 dot menu, and finally tap "secret chat". It's there but they clearly don't want people using it.
