Meh, you never could trust them.
Group chats were NEVER encrypted, so I'm surprised that people are just now figuring out that if it's not encrypted = people can read it.
If it wasn't a 1:1 "secret chat" encrypted message, then congrats, you weren't as opsec-y as you thought you were.
That's why I stopped using it. They require a phone number, phone numbers require kyc with an ID around here, and there's just too much illegal shit on there.
It's of course possible to get a more pseudonymous experience, but honestly, what they offer isn't worth the hastle.
