Telegram: Download and Privacy Controls

Telegram is available for download on Android via the Google Play Store and iOS via the Apple App Store. After installation, users can enhance their privacy through various features. “Secret Chats” offer end-to-end encryption, ensuring messages are only readable by the intended recipients and can be set to self-destruct. To secure their accounts further, users can activate “Two-Step Verification,” which requires both a password and an SMS code. Telegram’s privacy settings also allow users to manage who can see their profile photo, last seen status, and phone number.
