Founder Pavel Durov says tech is meant to set you free But because group chats and the channel features are not end-to-end encrypted, Galperin said user privacy is potentially under threat. I want a secure messaging app, should I use Telegram? Individual messages can be fully encrypted. But the user has to turn on that function. It's not automatic, as it is on Signal and WhatsApp. Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Kyiv-based lawyer and head of the Center for Civil Liberties, called Durov’s position "very weak," and urged concrete improvements.
