Is Telegram really that bad and should i look more into it or is sticking to signal really the best option?

    This depends. If you prioritize security over usability (like good multi-client, simple migration etc) AND you trust that signal server works as promised - then you can use signal or use secret chats in telegram. Otherwise, telegram is not that bad and even e2ee is not supported for usual chats, the history storage (according to dev claims) is spread over several legal areas what makes it harder for authorities to get access to it.

      Yea, I don’t use Telegram because of security, I use it because it has a very nice feature list and has the user base to go along with it. Anything that needs security I use Signal.
