In addition, Telegram also has various security features. Well, here are some security features of the chat service founded by Pavel Durov:

1. Lock messages/Lock Chat
Telegram users can take advantage of the lock chat feature so that the contents of the message are not discovered by others. Just click the Settings button – Privacy and Security – Passcode and Touch ID – Enter a PIN or Touch ID. Messages are automatically locked after the app is not used for a few minutes To open it, click the lock chat icon at the top of the app.

2. Secret Chat, Send Secret Message
Through this feature users can send secret messages. These messages are end-to-end encrypted, so that no third party can see them. Including Telegram.

3. Two-Step Verification
The two-step verification feature requires users to enter a password every time they log into a personal Telegram account via a new or old device. The password is needed as a complement to the OTP (one-time password) that appears when a user installs a Telegram account on a new device. This feature is useful for protecting application user accounts from identity thieves who know the password and try to hack it.

4. Server proxy
Telegram supports proxy servers. Allows users to hide their IP addresses by connecting their accounts to a special proxy server. The way this feature works is the same as a VPN connection that is commonly used to protect identity on the internet. Go to Settings – Data and Storage – Proxy Settings.
