I do use Telegram as well, however Telegram doesn't support e2e encryption for normal messaging. So for the few people that I have on Telegram I've suggested to use Signal instead.
Do you know Telegram uses e2e with no backup in their secret chats?
I'm not against Signal, but I always found strange that people used that same not well informed excuse to use WhatsApp.
Signal is more niche I think, I understand that people need that over another app, but in my opinion the e2e excuse misleads people into think that Telegram is insecure.
No, I didn't found that either. I guess for them you can only keep a secret between two people :D
Does Signal has an encrypted group chat? They store the chat history somewhere ? I need to search and read about that because I don't know, and that might be a key difference.
Signal service has no record of your group memberships, group titles, group avatars, or group attributes.
They also have a blog post[2] where they explain everything in detail about how group chats work. In [2], if you scroll down, they write:
Communication is private
Communication is private on Android, iOS and Desktop. And this includes the group chat feature. But as far as I understand, the communication is stored but is encrypted. [3] According to Signal:
Signal messages and calls cannot be accessed by us or other third parties because they are always end-to-end encrypted, private, and secure.
Telegram has it's own flaws😭 but hopefully since a lot of people are moving on it... Telegram will add e2e soon so that people can use Telegram without any worries...

But as far as I understand, thats not the case in group chats. Or I don't see a secret group chat activation in the menu.
