Does Telegram have privacy issues like WhatsApp?
  • Telegram also asks users to create a private chat to enable end-to-end encryption. The lack of end-to-end encryption as a default can be a privacy issue in and of itself. By default, Telegram chats are not encrypted end-to-end.
  • 'Both WhatsApp and Telegram work by forming user communities and gathering data on the user's device via fingerprinting (phone numbers, device data, and so on).'
  • 'This implies that the data centres are managed by third parties, but Telegram rents space from them, so personal information is not shared with the data centres and is solely saved on the servers.' All data is stored strongly encrypted, according to the platform's privacy regulations, so that local Telegram engineers or physical intruders cannot access it.'
