Telegram has gained great popularity worldwide due to its high attention to user privacy and information security. In addition to providing strong encryption and privacy protection functions, Telegram also has private chat and self-destructing functions. These functions are particularly suitable for use in scenarios where sensitive information needs to be protected, such as when companies have private conversations but cannot meet offline to communicate.

Enterprises and individuals can enjoy information encryption services by enabling Telegram private chats , and set the read-and-destroy function to automatically delete messages after a period of time after reading to avoid information leakage. This article will detail how to enable private chats and set the read-and-destroy function in Telegram to help enterprises better protect information privacy and security .

What are Telegram private chats and self-destructing messages?

Private chat is a chat mode officially set up by Telegram that is designed for information privacy . This function uses end-to-end encryption technology to transmit information to ensure that the information can only be read by the two parties in the chat , preventing third parties including the Telegram server from obtaining the information content.

Self-destructing messages are an extended feature of private chats. This feature allows users to set a message destruction time . When the time is up, the message will automatically disappear from the devices of both parties, thus avoiding the risk of information leakage caused by long-term storage of information.

Features of Telegram private chat

1. One-to-one chat : Private chat can only be conducted between two accounts, group chat is not supported, and only one person is allowed to have a private chat at the same time.

2. Synchronous deletion of chat history: If one party in the chat deletes the conversation history, the chat history in the other party’s device will also disappear at the same time.

3. Device restrictions: Private chats cannot be conducted on the web or Windows computers. If users want to use the private chat function on their computers, they need to install a mobile phone emulator to do so.

How to start a private chat in Telegram

Open Telegram — [Click on a friend window] — [Click on the friend's avatar to enter the friend's personal homepage] — Click [︙] in the upper right corner — [Start Secret Chat] — A pop-up window will ask you whether to turn it on. Click [Start] to enter the private chat window.

After starting a Telegram private chat, a new chat window will be opened. This mode has the following four functions:

Use end-to-end encryption
Chat history will not leave any traces on Telegram servers
Support self-destructing
Do not forward messages

In addition, for privacy protection reasons, after the private chat window is opened, Telegram will enable the screenshot restriction function, and the built-in screenshot function of the mobile phone will not be available. If one party in the chat uses other technologies to force a screenshot, the system will prompt both parties. (In order to provide a more detailed tutorial, this article uses a third-party tool to demonstrate this process.)
