Telegram takes privacy seriously, offering several key features to protect user data. Secret Chats are end-to-end encrypted, ensuring that only the sender and recipient can view the messages, and nothing is stored on Telegram’s servers. These chats can also be set to self-destruct, meaning they automatically delete after a specified time. Additionally, Telegram allows users to hide their phone numbers and manage who can contact them or see their online status. These features give users full control over their data and conversations, making Telegram one of the most secure messaging platforms available today.
