From what I've heard about Telegram, you have to explicitly enable end-to-end encryption with another person and you can't do that in group chats. Shouldn't that be listed in the document?
It's very likely that I'm wrong in all this, can anyone familiar with Signal or Telegram confirm?
@mckinley I'm only familiar with Signal. Signal enforces and requires e2e encryption and is not something you can disable. Signal also encourages users to swap public key fingerprints too (_called Safety Numbers_) and to do this "Out of Band".

I'll dive into this some more tomorrow. It's 11 over here and my cognitive abilities are slipping.
I haven't used Signal long but I must admit I'm a convert. Also handy it can act as the default SMS app on my phone. SMS will be unencrypted of course, and Signal reminds you of as much, but it means i can just use Signal for either case
