Is the Telegram messenger secure?

In this article, we will discuss a few points and try to justify how secure Telegram actually is. Let’s get started –

Point 1. Telegram is built on the MTProto  Protocol, making it a lot more secure than the usual mass-market messengers like Whatsapp and Line. The time-tested algorithms that form the backbone of the TElegram messenger also ensure. reliability in low connectivity situations.

Point 2. For the extra paranoid users, Telegram offers a ‘secret chat’ mode which offers complete end-to-end encryption. This means that Telegram will have no access to the contents shared and discussed in those chats.

Point 3. Telegram supports two layers of encryption. We have server-client encryption that works in cloud chats. Secret chat mode uses another layer of encryption known as client-client encryption. No matter what it may be, every piece of data flowing through the telegram is encrypted.
