Sending plaintext in a secure transport is not what they do either. They do have e2e encrypted secret chat on day one, and the ends are bound to the devices, so even if you login from your desktop app, you won't see the secret chats on your phone, unlike Signal.

Seriously, please educate yourself first.

I was specifically replying to your complaint that non-E2E encrypted chats should not be called unencrypted because they had encryption in transit to the server. You're now shifting the conversation back to the E2E encryption they do have.

The contradiction is right there in the sentence.

This is stupid pedantry.

Yes, they have opt-in e2e secret chats.

Oh, except the Windows and Linux clients don’t even support those.
