I don’t use Telegram but they don’t enable encryption by default? Last time I used Telegram I needed a phone number still, so, I’d say Signal has always been on top.
Indeed, only secret chats use it, that’s it’s biggest drawback.

Yes, for registering purposes. However, you can set up your own username and give that to whoever you want instead. You can even restrict some or all people from seeing your actual number.
@ijeff Finally, they are on par with Telegram here as well.
