> Telegram's homegrown crypto has been dismissed by many people (including experts).

Only the expert's opinions are of any value IMO, and I've never seen anyone showing an attack on Telegram's encryption. Telegram themselves seem to claim that it's never broken. I often see vague criticism over the fact that they use their own protocol, but never anything more detailed than that.

GP here. I agree. I believe there’s a stigma against Telegram. There was one security issue with the MProto version 1 several years ago, which was reported (given a bounty too, IIRC) and fixed. I don’t recall any other issue being reported after that.
