As I recall, even one on one chats are not e2e encrypted unless you explicitly start a "secret chat". Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

You're right! Despite their weird custom protocol, their E2E chats are still considered completely safe to use.

In my experience, though, very few people use E2E chats, even in direct chats.
