PurpleDime: > As I said earlier, it is my understanding that Telegram has record of your edits, even though you can’t see them yourself. I don’t know that but if message was delivered then fork can just keep it forever. If you later delete that message, telegram fork on recipient phone can keep it and just show that this message was deleted. I’m not sure if it’s possible to mitigate that, signal clients are open source, when client get message - it can store it forever. PurpleDime: > From a security perspective, I think it would be good for recipients to have an indicator when their contacts are using a fork or modded version of Signal. Also not sure if this is possible with open source clients. Telegram introduced this feature recently and in couple days most of the popular forks was able to bypass it.
