I've tried to get everyone over to Signal but can't so I still have Telegram for those that won't switch to Signal. That said I don't say or do anything on Telegram that is sensitive. I don't even share photos of family etc. on Telegram because I don't trust it. I also set all message threads with friends/family on Telegram to 1 Month so it auto-deletes after a month.
If your paranoia prevents you from using private messaging apps, then you should reconsider their use, as you will always find some reason to doubt and distrust them. At the end of the day, the best and most private will always be P2P encryption protocols like XMPP and Tox.
As an Iranian, I wanted to say that Telegram is currently the main social network in Iran due to the availability of its proxies, unlike Signal.
What proxy do you use in Iran?
@@user73nsnskAjd we usually use MT proto proxies built-in into telegram and we get those from some telegram proxy channels
This is really fascinating. I never used Telegram but was under the impression that it's end-to-end encrypted and generally safe.

It's been clear since forever that you should not be using Telegram... Don't know why now should be any different.
