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.
