Implementing such encryption for a vast user base of 900 million is technically complicated and costly, as evidenced by the lengthy and expensive processes undertaken by companies like Meta and Apple to achieve similar outcomes. Furthermore, Telegram's lack of transparency regarding its philosophy on this issue leaves much speculation about its choices, while law enforcement concerns about the implications of encryption on investigations further complicate the landscape.
