Search Friends by Username Chat Folders is one of the best Telegram tricks that you should know and utilize to your maximum advantage. We follow so many channels and groups on Telegram of different kinds, not to mention the individual chats that go into the mix.

This conveniently allows you to access your messages on multiple devices, but it might raise privacy concerns.
