So if an app doesn't support e2ee all data is being saved in plain text suddenly. You prefer calling telegram shitty because you don't care to actually learn what it uses. So it should be fair for me to call any other client shitty for other nonsense.
Uh you appear not to understand how encryption works? Either something is end-to-end encrypted, and the service provider doesn't have access to the encryption keys, and thus can't read the messages, or it is encrypted in transit, the keys are held by the provider and the messages are decrypted on the server. The latter is exactly what Telegram does, even though they falsely try to market it as something else.
