Don't Shoot the Messenger
Politicians often try to score points by blaming encrypted messaging apps for all the evils of modern society. Government officials call for backdoors in popular end-to-end encrypted apps to "stop terrorism", neglecting the fact that this can't and won't…
For those who don't know, Amber Rudd, Home Secretary in Theresa May's ministry said this last week:
It is “completely unacceptable” that the British security services are unable to access information exchanged by users on popular messaging services such as WhatsApp

Official information about Telegram v3.18 (voicecalls update):
A big update is coming to Telegram soon. It is currently delayed because Apple is keeping the iOS version "In review" – it's been stuck like that for more than 10 days.

✳️ TELEGRAM V 3.18 ✳️
— Voice Calls: Secure, Crystal-Clear, AI-Powered
— Secure:
To make sure your call is 100% secure, you and your recipient just need to compare four emoji over the phone. No lengthy codes or complicated pictures!
— Super-Fast:
Whenever possible, your calls will go over a peer-to-peer connection, using the best audio codecs to save traffic while providing crystal-clear quality.
— AI-Powered:
Each time you make a Voice Call on Telegram, a neural network learns from your and your device‘s feedback (naturally, it doesn’t have access to the contents of the conversation, it has only technical information such as network speed, ping times, packet loss percentage, etc.).
— Complete Control:
On Telegram, you can control who can and who can't call you with granular precision.
