Yeah it's here, but it doesn't sync between devices, there is no group chat support, etc. While marketing trying to sell Telegram as good privacy by default.

Some people use secrets chats if you want to hide something, they have the auto destruction of messages and chat way before it was implemented on WhatsApp.

You can keep it for personal chats. Also it has no contents revewled in notifications so apps with notification access cancan't steal it.
