Yes, Telegram is generally safe to use for regular messaging, but end-to-end encryption is not enabled by default. For better privacy, use Secret Chats, enable two-step verification, and avoid suspicious links or public groups.

Yes, Telegram is generally safe to use for messaging, offering encryption for secret chats and strong security features. However, regular chats are not end-to-end encrypted by default. Always enable two-step verification and be cautious with unknown links. Privacy depends on settings and how you use the app.

Yes, Telegram has robust security protections and encryption for private chats, making it typically safe to use for messaging. Regular conversations, however, are not by default end-to-end encrypted. Always turn on two-step verification, and use caution when clicking on unfamiliar links. Your usage of the app and its settings determine privacy.
