Stuff like multiple clients with shared chat history is a huge pain in the ass for full proper end to end encrypted chats. This is why whatsapp web uses your phone as a proxy and signal does some janky shit to work on multiple devices.

Telegram went UX first and turned down the crypto so that I can install Telegram on a fresh laptop and I've instantly got the same chats, with history, as I do on my phone.



I assume that means that Telegram, and any government with jurisdiction over it, also has your chats?
