**All [Telegram](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/95276/how-do-i-report-illegal-content-on-telegram) messages are encrypted at all times. Client-client encryption is used in Secret Chats, whereas client-server/server-client encryption is used in Cloud Chats, and messages are stored encrypted** on the Telegram Cloud (more here). This ensures that your cloud messages are both secure and accessible from any of your devices - even if you misplace your smartphone entirely.
