Telegram leaked IP addresses when making calls

A researcher has found that Telegram’s default configuration leaked a user’s IP address when making a call.

According to Bleeping Computer, the default setting for Telegram sees voice calls being made over P2P – and the IP address of the contact you are speaking to is shown in the Telegram console logs.

They're clearly having issues with voice calls in general. I've found WhatsApp calls to be better quality for a while now.
