While most messages use client-to-server encryption, the Secret Chat messages utilizes end-to-end encryption. In addition, Telegram features group chats and multimedia messages, voice and video calls, similar to Facebook Messenger.
The platform also offers self-destructing messages and supports Two-Step Verification and multiple devices. For all these reasons, Telegram is growing rapidly.
This is not to say Telegram is completely private Among its flaws, Restore Privacy notes the following cons:
- Phone number is required for registration
- E2E encryption is only for Secret Chats
- Logs user’s IP address and other data
- Servers are not open source
In addition, one reader who joined Telegram says her account was hacked–twice.
However, it is still a worthy alternative to message-controlling data collectors like Facebook and Twitter.
Telegram was created by Russian brothers Nikolai and Pavel Durov (founders of VK) in 2013 and is based in Dubai. Telegram is predicted to reach 1 billion users by this year.
