Staying safe on Telegram
Understand chat protection and take control of your account settings.
Understand chat encryption
Cloud chats sync across devices but are not end-to-end encrypted. Secret Chats use end-to-end encryption and are tied to specific devices. Choose the chat type that fits your needs.
Protect your account
Turn on two-step verification and an app passcode. Review active sessions under Devices and end any sessions you no longer use or recognize.
Choose who can reach you
Review phone-number visibility, calls and group invitations in Privacy and Security. Verify the source before opening unexpected links or files.
Report and block
Use in-app reporting and blocking for spam or harassment. Do not share login codes, passwords or sensitive information. Be careful with personal data when interacting with third-party bots.
