Calls seem tm be e2e encrypted: https://core.telegram.org/api/end-to-end/video-calls

No idea how secure the encryption is, but calling someone on Telegram is safer than sending texts.

Depends on who your adversary is and how much you trust their protocol (some weird homegrown thing with clever/questionable cryptographic choices, the last time I checked) and implementation. Your texts don't generally run through Telegram's infrastructure, for example.

Too bad I can't send a secure text from my Telegram desktop client. Lucky for me, there's Signal.
