To sum up: No desktop Secret Chats

    Desktops are a much less personal environment, frequently monitored at work and left unattended at home. It’s easier to keep an eye on mobile devices.
    Implementing secure storage is more complicated in open desktop systems as opposed to sandboxed mobile environments. Secret Chats require storage to work.
    Secret Chats are single-device, so adding more potential sources would result in many Secret Chats with the same person. A mess in UI and no idea which chat to send your message to. You’re more likely to reach a person on the mobile phone.
    To find a message, you’d have to search across multiple Secret Chats with the same person on many devices. The server wouldn’t be able to tell you where to look.
    Logging out kills Secret Chats, temporary sessions create garbage chats on the partner's device.
    We may introduce Secret Chats to our desktop and web apps in the future, even though this requires a lot of work and careful planning.
