Telegram: Advanced Privacy Controls and Setup

Telegram is easily available for download on Android and iOS platforms. Upon installation, users should focus on privacy controls. “Secret Chats” use end-to-end encryption, ensuring that messages are visible only to the intended recipients and can be set to self-destruct. To protect accounts further, users can activate “Two-Step Verification,” which requires both a password and an SMS code. Additionally, Telegram’s privacy settings allow users to manage who can see their profile photo, last seen status, and phone number, providing a high level of personal data control.
