You can’t have secret chats for groups.

For desktop secret chats you may use Unigram client (although it’s hard for me to justify a potentially non-mobile secret chat).

The rest is trivial and isn’t that hard unless you contact hundreds of new people a day. In that case, I’d already thought of using ahk automation or a full-blown telethon bot.

Sounds like I should stick to Signal that got this right from the get-go.

      Also

      $ sudo apt install signal-desktop-beta

      [sudo] password for :

      signal-desktop-beta is already the newest version (7.22.0~beta.1).

      So, yeah.
