The UX of the official Linux desktop Telegram client is <i>really</i> nice, IMHO. Simple and snappy even on a low-powered netbook. Syncs perfectly and immediately across devices. Copy&#x2F;paste&#x2F;drag&#x2F;drop of images and files works very well. I also like the option-on-hover &quot;drop here to quickly send compressed photo &#x2F; drop here to send without compression&quot; for its ease of use. Although given I had to explain some people, less curious &#x2F; techsavvy people may not discover it or notice it.<p>But yeah, no encryption to speak of. So I&#x27;m no longer going to recommend Telegram over Whatsapp :) Just pointing out how much I like the UX of the Telegram client, no reason why you couldn&#x27;t have that on a properly encrypted platform, after all :)
