Telegram supports two layers of secure encryption. Cloud Chats use server-client encryption while Secret Chats use an additional layer of client-client encryption. All content is encrypted in the same way — be it media, text, or files. Verification Badges in Chats A further privacy blunder is that Telegram notifies your contacts when you join it — unless you don’t give it permission to access your contacts.
