Telegram: Downloading and Privacy Features

Telegram is readily available for download on Android through the Google Play Store and on iOS via the Apple App Store. Once installed, users can secure their accounts with privacy-focused features. Telegram’s “Secret Chats” provide end-to-end encryption, ensuring that only the participants can read the messages, and they can be set to self-destruct for added security. To further enhance account protection, users can enable “Two-Step Verification,” which requires both a password and a verification code sent via SMS. Privacy settings also allow users to control who sees their profile photo, last seen status, and phone number.
