I don’t want to see PGP rejection based on usability. So, to level the field at user level we take Delta Chat, which uses PGP. If I understand that correctly.
I have no knowledge of telegram security at all.

Agreed.
No audit…then we don’t know.
Have you seen an audit for SwissCows’ Teleguard?
I’ve been testing it for a few days now, after a comment about it here.
They claim to not store your chats, they’re deleted after delivery. To sync a new device requires an encrypted backup from an existing device.
I’ve tested this by restoring a backup from yesterday to sync a new device, and it only has data from yesterday.
That said, I really don’t know how trustworthy they are.
Nice, I hadn’t heard of them until now, either.
I’m just excited that end-to-end-encrypted services have become in such high demand that we’re seeing lots of different implementations.
It took a while, but it looks like Veilid finally has a basic chat built in their protocol as well. It says it’s secure, but I can’t find any info on its particulars.

They CEO made an direct attack against Signal, spreading misinformation to promote Teleguard. I think that says it all.
Meh. I only read a translated version, so it’s hard to tell nuance.
But nothing in there is inaccurate. Maybe overstated.
Personally Signal seems trustworthy, but… I have some ambivalence, given their bullshit reasons for dropping SMS support. They claimed it cost them engineering, which is at best wrong, at worst a flat out lie. Signal has nothing to do with how SMS is managed - it merely hands the message to Android’s SMS system. It’s trivial. So why would they drop support and use that lie?
When I’m being misled, I start to look at everything else as having a bit more validity.
Plus UI/UX on signal sucks. It’s no better than the lamest SMS app. Hell, old SMS apps are better. And no multi-device sync. They claim it can’t be done and maintain encryption. Right. Clients just need to use the same encryption key…like Telegram does, and now Teleguard - and they’re claiming full e2e at all times.
Do your homework… 🙄
Seriously, fact check before you comment something which is not true. I will reply later wth a longer response when I got time to :)
