> Telegram does log chats server-side if you want them to
Trying to assume good faith here that this is accidental and not trying to deliberately mislead but the way this is phrased strongly implies that server-side logging is off-by-default. It is not.
Nor are secret chats prompted or prominently advertised in the UI (it's the 2nd option when you go to create a new group, never seen when initiating new 1:1 conversations).
I would wager most Telegram users don't know about secret chats, or if they have heard of them they probably assume they're on by default.
