    In this case it seems the backdoor is only usable with someone who has the correct key. Seeing and reverting something fishy is in some cases, like this easier than finding an exploit. It takes a lot of time in this case to figure out what goes on.

    Fixing a bug never automatically give an easy to use exploit for script kiddies





  • You remember incorrect. All Clients are open source:

    Telegram apps are open source and support reproducible builds. Anyone can independently verify that Telegram apps you download from App Store or Google Play were built using the exact same code that we publish

    In Fdroid there are also forks. But yes, their servers are closed source and centralized.

    Still its not recommended. It requires Phone number and as you said its E2ee is not on by default and is not soooo good.
