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.

- 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.
