Simple question denotes whether its encrypted.....

Does cloud server store the message and key.....

If answer is yes, ITS NOT FULLY ENCRYPTED!

Sounds contrary right?

If key and message is on server any LEO org can get it....for it to be fully encrypted cloud server should never store the keys....

So how many services claiming encryption have this flaw? All....

Why do you think Telegram has shell companies to avoid gov subpeonas?

Because it knows that its encryption is faulty to real world LEO and laws as it stores the keys on the cloud which means its can be subpoenaed for those keys and messages.

Telegram is actually one of the only apps I've seen to defend their super-duper secure storage of keys online. All lies of course.

The overwhelming majority of secure messaging apps have no way to recover user data if you drop your phone in the ocean. This includes Signal, Wire, Threema, Session, Element, iMessage etc.
