Go to: Settings → Privacy and Security → Last Seen & Online

Options include:

Everybody

My Contacts

Nobody

You can also add exceptions, allowing certain people to see your status or preventing telegram data specific users from accessing it.

Note: If you hide your last seen from someone, you won’t be able to see theirs either. Telegram will show an approximate status like “recently” or “within a week.”

Profile Photo Privacy
You can decide who gets to view your profile photo or avatar.

Go to: Settings → Privacy and Security → Profile Photos

Choose from:

Everybody

My Contacts

Nobody (with custom exceptions)

This feature is especially helpful for public channel owners or administrators who want to separate their public and private identities.

By default, Telegram allows anyone to send you a message. However, you can restrict who can contact you directly.

Go to: Settings → Privacy and Security → Messages

Options:

Everybody

My Contacts

Go to: Settings → Privacy and Security → Calls

Control:

Who can call you: Everyone, My Contacts, Nobody

Peer-to-peer connection setting (to hide your IP address)
