Absolutely! Telegram provides nice to have features like cloud message history, but those inherently mean it's less secure.

I actually wish Signal had a "trade some security for convenience" option like that.

My signal is set to backup my message db daily. it works, but its a hell of a key to type if I lose my current phone, and need to restore.

Sadly it's not supported at all on iOS, since apparently the Signal devs don't believe that people ever lose phones.
