Secret Chats are one of the serviceβs additional security features; it allows messages to be sent with client-to-client encryption. This setup means that, unlike regular messages, these secret messages can only be accessed from the deviceβs that initiated and accepted the chat. Additionally, Telegram notes that secret chats leave no trace on the companyβs services and offer a self-destruct timer.
Telegram Auto-Delete Messages in Any Chat
Some messages arenβt supposed to last forever. There are some Telegram groups and conversations where itβs best if messages are automatically deleted in a day or a week. Hereβs how to auto-delete messages in any Telegram chat. You can enable the auto-delete feature on a per-chat basis. It works for both one-on-one conversations and group chats. Previously, you needed to use the Secret Chat feature to automatically delete messages after a set time. At the time of writing, you can choose to automatically delete messages after a day or a week. Telegram starts the timer once they are sent, not after they are read. This wonβt affect the messages that were sent before enabling the feature.
