Telegram frontend, Signal backend? (feddit.de)

Hi. Is there an app that uses the Telegram client and all its cool features but uses end-to-end encryption by default? Imagine using Telegram with the Signal protocol - or even better - with the Matrix protocol. That would be so awesome. Most messaging apps, even WhatsApp, lack sooo many great features. Now imagine someone actually recreating the entire server from Telegram, making everything end-to-end encrypted and decentralized (federated/P2P).

Unfortunately, SimpleX Chat are only terminal based on desktop.

Desktop version will be released tomorrow I think. July 27. They are hosting an online event about that. They will also show to people how to host SimpleX relay with dual public + onion address.

I don't get it. simplex offers a android and ios app?!

[–] airikr@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, but I do use PC (Linux) more than I use Android. So a desktop client would be more suitable for me.

Ah, thanks for the clarification.
