Definately not the same. For a better snapchat—like feature, where you want reasonable protection against your coms partner telegram is way better. Also protects you from screenshots etc (again: reasonable privacy relative to threat model)

does it protect you from taking a picture of your phone?

i'd rather have a foundation of properly functioning, award winning cryptography than "features" designed for people who haven't thought through their threat model sufficiently.

My threat model with nudes are different from my whistle blowing.

Signal also makes trade offs in order to het crypto to the masses.

Yeah, but “supporting plaintext comms by default” is not a trade off to get crypto to the masses, it’s a failure to do so at all. What’s wrong with the disappearing messages feature?

Disappearing messages are per thread. In telegram i can choose to 'disapear' single messages.

You can turn it on and off for the conversation whenever you want.

But I can't go back and delete a message. I can prepare to delete the next message. Not, a message.

I mean, that feature can be abused in a whole host of ways
