I also like it, IMO it has the best balance between privacy and cool features

It has no encryption by default.

True, but it doesn't take a genius to start an e2e message. It's really easy.

I should have specified that it doesn’t have E2E encryption by default, because transport encryption is absolutely standard and there’s no messenger that doesn’t have it.
I said “by default” because while secret chats are end-to-end encrypted, they aren’t the default.
