Is it safe to share sensitive information through telegram chats?
I’ve been using Telegram for a while now and really like its features, but I’ve started wondering about the security of my chats, especially when sharing sensitive information. Does anyone know if it’s actually safe to share things like personal documents or financial details through Telegram chats? Are there any specific precautions we should be taking to ensure our information stays private? Would love to hear your thoughts!

From what I know, secret chats are safer since they’re end-to-end encrypted, but normal chats are only encrypted between your device and Telegram’s servers. I wouldn’t share sensitive information in a regular chat just to be safe.

Just a heads up: if you’re in a group chat, messages aren’t end-to-end encrypted. They’re stored on Telegram’s servers. So, maybe think twice before sharing personal stuff in those.

While Signal is known for its security, saying it’s safer than Telegram isn’t entirely accurate. Telegram offers cloud-based storage for easy access across devices, has two-step verification, and features like secret chats with end-to-end encryption. Plus, Telegram’s active session management lets users monitor all logged-in devices, adding another layer of security. Both use strong encryption protocols, but Telegram’s additional features for managing privacy and user control make it a reliable choice for many users.
