What is this "Desktop Client", i don't get it -_-

I use the Telegram app on my OSX Laptop, and i use Secret chats. They seem identical to my Android secret chats. What am i missing?

Telegram desktop [1] aka "tdesktop" is the official telegram desktop client, it's based on Qt and it's cross platform (Windows, GNU/Linux, OS X). What you have been using must be "Telegram for OS X" [2], a different application entirely, which supports only OS X obviously. IIRC tdesktop didn't support OS X initially.

Interesting, thanks for the clarification! Seeing as OSX has secret chats, i may as well stick with it heh.
