So friends and me arguing over if Teleguard encrypts media too or only chats. My take is, everything, as stated on their site: -> Complex encryption system for all transmitted data... (plus it's swiss based).

Element says this on their site (2.4 Sharing Data in Compliance with Enforcement Requests and Applicable Laws; Enforcement of Our Rights): ... Shared information is exclusively limited to what we are technically able to see, which means end-to-end encrypted information is never accessed by our teams or shared externally. (UK-EU based)

So both encrypt media but Element saves them while Teleguard deletes the messages after receiving?

Element is UK and EU-based, not US-based.
