  yeah there’s a tradeoff. it’s either server-encrypted with your “cloud password” or e2e encryption in which case you lose chat sync.

    Or just do it like Matrix or Signal which have both E2EE and chat sync

      yeah they can do sync but it’s rather janky and requires both devices to be on.
      there are some advantages to telegram’s cloud chat system.

        They don’t though. Only WhatsApp does. The other ones don’t require both devices to be on.

        Also it’s not janky at all (with the exception of WhatsApp)
