>Telegram is more secure than mass market messengers like WhatsApp and Line

Why are you defending these fraudsters?

>I use it, so it isn't nobody.

Don't play silly word games, you just said "I would guess that usage is definitely below 1%"

>It's implemented by the Android and iOS apps, which are the most used ones.

Ah, so it'll only fail to work 30% of the time? That's not terrible UX at all.

>How is this actively discouraging?

Why do you have to press a button to chat securely, when the "less secure" WhatsApp does not require that? Is it because of Durovs superior encryption technology?

You simply can't justify that button.



> Why are you defending these fraudsters?

Them being fraudsters doesn't make all of your allegations true.

> Don't play silly word games, you just said "I would guess that usage is definitely below 1%"

So? 0.1% is below 1% and would still correspend to ~200000 users. That is NOT nobody.

Source for the 30%?

It's a trade-off. WhatsApp / Telegram's secure-chats are lacking other features Telegram's non-secure chats have.
