Secret chats are only for person-to-person communication in Telegram. You cannot have group secret chats. They're also restricted to the specific device that started the conversation and do not sync across devices. For a platform that does, look at Wire [1].

I'm not using any group chat, so for me personally that's fine.

so far wire is not available on f-droid either, although it's unclear (for me) whether their client now runs without the google play framework. there's discussion about it [0] but no clear answer yet (or I'm missing something).

the moment it's available through f-droid, it's a different story overall.

It's available to download on the website. I asked on Instagram and was assured that Wire doesn't require Google Play Services.
