I actually think it depends on what your type of threat is. If secure means talking to trusted people, and no one else should know what you say or to whom, Telegram is still great and who cares if my confederate knows my IP. He doesn’t care.

If you’re using it to communicate to a hostile party who would love to unmask you, then very not so much. Personally I’m not in the second category but I’m sure some are.
