It's the only thing my friends will use because they're scared of encryption.

Telegram doesn't have encryption.

Still waiting for something with native apps for all platforms to be reasonably trustless and have all the goodies that TG has (bots, games, etc).

> And oh boy, does Telegram encryption suck. Seriously people, don't use that except on a dare.

The greatest problem with the Telegram encryption is that nobody I know uses it. Why?

1. It's not default.

2. Encrypted chats don't sync between devices.

As the old saying goes - 'Never roll your own crypto'
