All Telegram client apps are fully open source. We offerverifiable builds both for iOS and Android– this technology allows to independently verify that the application you download from the app stores was built using theexact same codethat we publish.
By contrast, publishing the server code doesn’t provide security guarantees neither for Secret Chats nor for Cloud Chats. This is because – unlike with the client-side code – there’s no way to verify that thesame codeis run on the servers.
As for Secret Chats, you don’t need the server-side code to check their integrity – the point of end-to-end encryption is that it must be solid regardless of how the servers function.
