This update is being rolled out gradually. If your app is not offering you to update, please wait – the new version will become available soon. Mute a Telegram chat Turn off/on the auto-night mode

Buying a new 5G smartphone? Here’s what to keep in mind Launch the Telegram app on your device and navigate to Settings -> Data and Storage. Send Silent Messages The aforementioned secret chats are where you can take part in end-to-end encrypted messaging with a contact. But that’s not its only benefit: Secret chats also don’t allow a person forward messages from there or take screenshots. Of course, someone could take a picture of the screen with another device, but it’s still discouraged, and it’s bolstered by another feature: self-destruct timers.

Do you know that Telegram offers a handful of readymade app icons so that you can change the look of the icon depending on your home screen layout? Ever since I stumbled upon this hidden Telegram hack, I have been using it to amp up the home screen customization game. If you are also in the same boat, you would find it pretty cool as well. To mute a chat in Telegram, head over to the chat in question. Next, tap the name at the top and then hit the mute button. Telegram is all about privacy and security, and it isn't beholden to larger companies like Facebook. On the same page, Telegram also lists one of its two tenets of internet privacy as “protecting your personal data from third parties, such as marketers, advertisers, etc.” That puts it in stark contrast to a myriad of services from Facebook, Google, Amazon, and others.

Do you enjoy using both light and dark modes? Telegram has an auto-night feature so the app doesn't blind you at night. Voice messages can be converted to text for those times you don't want to listen, but want to see what it says. You can rate transcriptions to help improve them.
