This reliable communication channel will allow you to secure your correspondence as much as possible.
If you are discussing important and confidential issues on Telegram regarding business, finance, or potentially dangerous and compromising topics, then it is better to go to the secret chat.
Benefits of Telegram Secret Chats
- End-to-end encryption that excludes access to correspondence by third parties.
- Sending messages without using intermediate servers - directly between two interlocutors.
- The ability to configure the deletion of messages by timer, and they will be deleted for both.
- The ban on forwarding messages and screenshots of correspondence, and if someone tries to take a screenshot, it will be displayed in the chat.
How to create a secret chat
Secret chats in Telegram can only be created on a smartphone and only for communication between two people. To create such a communication channel in the application, open the conversation with the desired contact and click on his name at the top.
In the window with media files that opens, click on the three dots to the right of the call icon. Select "Start Secret Chat" from the drop-down list and confirm the action.
The chat will work only when your interlocutor appears on the network.
How to turn on auto-delete messages
By default, messages are not deleted automatically. To enable this feature, click on the three dots in the upper right corner of the chat and select "Enable Timed Delete".
You can choose to delete after one or a few seconds, after an hour, a day, or even a week. The interlocutor will also be notified about the inclusion of such a function.
As you can see, you can take screenshots of the secret chat, but there will be no correspondence on them - only menu items, if they are used. Nevertheless, it is worth remembering that the screen with a secret chat can be photographed using another smartphone.
