✳️ Our two cents about this:
➡️ Telegram never stores cloud chats in plaintext on the servers. They are encrypted.
➡️ Encryption keys are stored in a different facility in a different jurisdiction for each data center.
➡️ BUT if some intruder breach the security of all servers/facilities he will be able to access to your messages.
➡️ So Snowden is right about this: If you want full privacy, you should always use end-to-end encryption (keys are only stored on your device and never on telegram servers).
Fun fact: Long gone are the days when Pavel Durov offered Edward Snowden a job at Vkontakte.

Google is building a new mobile-messaging with bots
Google is building a new mobile-messaging service that taps its artificial intelligence know-how and so-called chatbot technology to try to catch rivals including Facebook Inc.
For its new service, Google, plans to integrate chatbots, software programs that answer questions inside a messaging app.
Google is pursuing a similar goal with its messaging service, the people familiar with the plan said. Instead of typing a query into Google's search engine, users will type questions as text messages, to which chatbots will respond. Google will likely let outside developers build chatbots to run on the service, one of the people said. Google would steer users to specific chatbots, much as its search engine directs users to relevant websites. The move is strategic, because messaging apps and chatbots threaten Google's role as the Internet's premier discovery engine.

BTW, do you remember the acquisition attempt that Pavel Durov was talking about at Techcrunch?
This answers the question about that:
In October, Mr. Fox offered to buy 200 Labs Inc., a small startup that builds chatbots, but the firm declined the offer, according to two people familiar with the situation. 200 Labs developed a marketplace and rating service for chatbots on Telegram, a messaging app that offers hundreds of chatbots, devoted to subjects like the weather, image search, news and dating. 200 Labs is working on technology that will choose the best chatbot to respond to a request.

✳️ TELEGRAM | CALLS & VIDEO CALLS ✳️
Is Telegram planning to add calls or video calls like whatsapp?
Directly from the FAQ:
We specialize in sending messages, large media and files (and we do this better than anyone out there). There are still many things that we can revolutionize in messaging. And messaging is obviously trending at the moment, so our focus remains in that area for now.
While voice and video calls may seem attractive, we do not consider them to be part of the core messaging experience. And since both these features require considerable resources in terms of time, work and maintenance. We'd rather use all that energy to bring you a fast, secure and reliable messenger, capable of transferring large files, syncing across many devices and keeping you happy without those pesky incoming calls.

✳️ TELEGRAM | STATUS MESSAGES ✳️
Is Telegram planning to add status messages for users?
Directly from the FAQ:
Status messages in messengers are a legacy of their desktop past. Studies show that modern users rarely use status messages for any practictical purposes. This data is also confirmed by our gut feeling. So it is rather unlikely that we will be adding them.
But here's an idea: if there is a certain group of friends that you would like to notify of changes in your status, it may be fun to create a group with all of them and send those messages to that group.
