lol, yeah the problem is that it just never occurred to us that UX is important!<p>Here&#x27;s the situation: people hem and haw about Telegram&#x27;s cryptography, but what we should really be talking about is that Telegram is <i>not using end to end encryption by default</i>.  Telegram stores your <i>entire plaintext message history</i> server-side.  There is nothing worse when it comes to privacy, but it&#x27;s very easy to write slick clients when they&#x27;re just views onto the server and all the logic happens there.
