Telegram: Privacy Functions and Setup

Telegram is accessible via the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. After installation, users can enhance their privacy with several features. “Secret Chats” utilize end-to-end encryption, ensuring that messages are only readable by the intended recipients and offering self-destruct timers for additional security. To protect accounts further, “Two-Step Verification” adds an extra security layer by requiring a password and an SMS code. Telegram’s privacy settings also allow users to control who can see their profile photo, last seen status, and phone number.
