Private messages on Matrix have been end-to-end encryption (E2EE) by default since 2020 - matrix.org/…/cross-signing-and-end-to-end-encrypt…

For anyone considering Telegram for privacy:

1. Telegram doesn’t default to encryption. All your messages are stored and can be viewed by anyone with enough privileges on Telegram’s infrastructure.
2. Telegram’s “secure” 1-1 messages are limited to the point of being useless and not worth using. It’s a dark design pattern created to discourage their use, ensuring you give them all your data.
3. Telegram doesn’t support E2EE group messages.

TL;DR - Matrix is more private than Telegram.
