I use OpenPGP in Termux for symmetric file encryption.

So true.

Supreme Court of India was sold out to the ruling party long ago.

Ok, does that prove Telegram more privacy-oriented than WP? That is my point.

Neither do we control Telegram. Both TG and WP are notorious. Even after Telegram client’s being open-sourced, no one stopped them from sharing user data to Indian Govt. I am not defending WP, but it at least has a mention that chats are by default E2E encrypted. That’s why I mentioned “if not Signal”.

For messaging purpose WhatsApp (if not Signal) is better than Telegram as Telegram chats are not encrypted by default.

It is constantly struggling since the beginning of this year. I pray it gets back soon.
