Group Privacy Settings

[roseline371274]

When creating or managing a group:

- **Public vs. Private Groups**: Decide if anyone can join or if it requires an invite link.
- **Admin Controls**: Admins can control who joins and what permissions members have (like sending messages or adding new members).

This ensures you maintain a safe space for discussions!

### 6. **Channel Visibility**

Channels are great for broadcasting messages to large audiences without telegram data revealing participants’ identities:

- Choose whether subscribers should remain anonymous or visible in comments.
- Adjust who can post messages if you're using a broadcast channel.

These options ensure that discussions remain focused while preserving user confidentiality!

## Two-Step Verification

Feeling secure is half the battle! Here’s how to enhance security further:

### 7. **Enabling Two-Step Verification**

Adding two-step verification means you'll need more than just a password:

1. Go to Settings > Privacy and Security.
2. Select Two-Step Verification and follow the prompts.

This additional layer helps protect against unauthorized access—even if someone gets hold of your password!

## Self-Destructing Messages

Let’s talk about ephemeral communication—one of the coolest features Telegram offers!

### 8. **Secret Chats**

Unlike regular chats, secret chats offer end-to-end encryption and self-destruct timers:

- Set a timer for messages to disappear after being read.
- Enjoy enhanced security since these chats don’t get stored on Telegram servers.
