yeah there's a tradeoff. it's either server-encrypted with your "cloud password" or e2e encrypted in which case you lose chat sync.
like you're supposed to use non-e2e chats for regular conversations, and encrypted ones for anything even remotely sensitive
audio/video calls are always encrypted.
Or just do it like Matrix or Signal or even WhatsApp which have both E2EE and chat sync
yeah they can do sync but it's rather janky and requires both devices to be on.
there are some advantages to telegram's cloud chat system, even though it's much less secure.
They don't though. Only WhatsApp does. The other ones don't require both devices to be on.
Also it's not janky at all (with the exception of WhatsApp)
indeed, that's true. Whatsapp is years behind Telegram in features.
To be fair, WhatsApp hasn't had any serious feature development up until the last year or so, so as far as features go, they're playing catch-up.
Not to be a dick, but Telegram (as much as I love it) has had a terrible Video Chat experience. The overall quality is heavy... And it's buggy.
I never had any issues with it. I use it on Android and Linux.
That's... weird... Windows Desktop and Android. The audio quality fluctuates alot.
Compared to the same hardware on Meet, the quality fluctuates a lot on Telegram.
To be fair, it's been over 4 months since I last used it. Let's see.
Telegram had this for at least 3 years now.
Telegram has every feature earlier than whatsapp
Except E2EE by default
