Telegram does offer end-to-end encrypted communications through Secret Chats, but this is not the default setting.

"The argument from Telegram is, 'You should trust us because we tell you that we're trustworthy,'" Maréchal said. "It's really in the eye of the beholder whether that's something you want to buy into."
