yeah there’s a tradeoff. it’s either server-encrypted with your “cloud password” or e2e encrypted in which case you lose chat sync.
like you’re supposed to use non-e2e chats for regular conversations, and encrypted ones for anything even remotely sensitive

audio/video calls are always encrypted.

indeed, that’s true. Whatsapp is years behind Telegram in features.

To be fair, WhatsApp hasn’t had any serious feature development up until the last year or so, so as far as features go, they’re playing catch-up.

Not to be a dick, but Telegram (as much as I love it) has had a terrible Video Chat experience. The overall quality is heavy… And it’s buggy.

I never had any issues with it. I use it on Android and Linux.

That’s… weird… Windows Desktop and Android. The audio quality fluctuates alot.

Compared to the same hardware on Meet, the quality fluctuates a lot on Telegram.

To be fair, it’s been over 4 months since I last used it. Let’s see.
