Should Telegram's default privacy settings be more restrictive for casual users?

02 Kas 23:45

Telegram offers end‑to‑end encrypted secret chats, but the regular cloud chats are stored on servers and can be accessed with the account credentials. For many casual users the default setting is convenient, yet it raises concerns about data exposure if the account gets compromised. Should the platform make secret chat mode the default, or at least require a toggle for stronger privacy? Also, how do you feel about the balance between usability—like seamless multi‑device sync—and stricter defaults that could limit some features? I'm curious about the community’s stance and any practical work‑arounds you use.
