At that point calling it end-to-end encrypted is not true.

Can you elaborate where you think it stops being encrypted?

What definition of "end-to-end encrypted" do you refer to, if on-device processing does not qualify? Isn't your device one of the endpoints in E2EE?

In context of instant messaging E2EE usually means that service providers servers don't ever see the plaintext with messages stored on device. Just the transport encryption is already an expectation for all networking.

- Signal: E2EE

- Telegram: by default, nah

- Discord, nah
