Are messages to self even safe on Telegram?

Secret chats don’t work between the desktop client and the app, so I would suspect that, like the rest of the messages, everything is saved on telegram’s servers in the clear.

Or am I missing something?

Telegram has cloud encryption via MTProto 2.0. The servers use a distributed key generation mechanism.
