Amongst the top social media platforms at the moment; telegram has proven to be one of the most secured after Signal in offering its users security and privacy.

Telegram is open source so that all of its programs can be verified by security experts, so as a result of this, most of your chats aren’t end-to-end encrypted by default.

Although telegram security is enough to protect you from your ISPs, Wi-Fi router interception, and other third parties but Telegram can be able to view your data if they want to.

However, if you want a full encrypted chat on telegram then you’ll have to switch to its secret chat mode which offers;

1. End-to-end Encryption
2. Leaves no trace on their servers
3. Self destruct timer
4. Do not allow forwarding of messages.
5. Notifies users when you take a screenshot (iPhone), Screenshots not allowed (Android)
6. Deletes message for all when you delete any message

E.t.c.

Telegram secret chat feature is the go-to for anyone who wants to maximize their security online.
