 TG makes it clear in their Privacy Policy. Only Secret Chats are e2ee 
 new info to me 
 Yeah, few know this, and they don't make secret chats easy to use  
 Yea they def don’t advertise it.

I find them easy to use though once connected. 
Only thing is they don’t show up on desktop, I imagine probably for the same reason that it recently came out that signal is not fully secure on desktop 🤷‍♀️ 
 100% true but I think most noobs either misunderstand or incorrectly assume that secret chats are the default. 
 💯 yes, this has always baffled me.. why not just make them all e2ee, and where not possible (for eg on desktop), put a warning sign you need to acknowledge before proceeding
