This is a conscious choice they've made. > If Telegram turns out to be unsafe, I wouldn't have any issue with continuing using it for everyday stuff, and using a different app for secrets. Great, now every time you're talking on the "other" app the State knows you're talking about something sensitive. The point of encrypting everything is to ensure that encryption - by itself - is not a sign of illicit activity. |

That wasn't by breaking the encryption, it was by court order.
> it isn't encrypted by default in all scenarios.
It is using encryption in all cases, but it's not using end to end encryption in all cases. I know plenty of people will argue that it's the same thing as no encryption, but by using encryption you then force anyone who want's to eavesdrop to go through court to get the data from Telegram, and not just listening on the same Wifi network. Saying it's unencrypted is disingenuous.
