Telegram is open-source, and all of its code is available online for verification by security experts.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-709497\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Secret-Chat-Started-on-Telegram.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"402\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>But by default, Telegram only offers server-side encryption. Telegram syncs your data (messages, media, and groups) between all your devices and uploads it to its servers by default. All the data in Telegram\u2019s server is encrypted. This means that you are safe from your internet service provider, Wi-Fi router interception, and other third parties.<\/p>\n<p>But Telegram itself might still be able to access your data (if they really wanted to). According to Telegram, its encryption method is the best compromise for features and security. Your large groups, channels, and media are all backed up and instantly available on all your devices, and they\u2019re encrypted in the cloud. If you trust Telegram to protect your data, you don\u2019t need to worry.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if you want end-to-end encryption where no one (including Telegram) can access your data, you need to enter a separate mode called Secret Chat.<\/p>\n<p>Secret Chat mode only works for one-on-one conversations and not for groups (of any size). Once you enter Secret Chat mode, Telegram enables end-to-end encryption. This means that only you and the recipient can read the messages, as they are only stored on your devices and not on Telegram\u2019s servers. No one else can access or decipher the messages, including Telegram.<\/p>\n<p>Messages in Secret Chat can\u2019t be forwarded, and if you take a screenshot, the recipient is notified about it. When you delete a message, it\u2019s deleted for both users.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignnone wp-image-709498 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screenshot-Banner-in-Secret-Chat-on-Telegram.png\" alt=\"A notification that a screenshot was taken of the encrypted chat\" width=\"650\" height=\"295\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Because Secret Chat messages are device-specific, they are only available on the device you start the chat with. If you log out of the current device, you will lose out on the Secret Chat, too. And once you delete the conversation, all the messages from the conversation will disappear as well.<\/p>\n<p>Once the Secret Chat begins, you can chat like you always do. Optionally, you can enable a self-destruct timer (like Instagram or WhatsApp), where all messages will disappear after a set time once the message has been displayed on the recipient\u2019s screen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Send Disappearing Messages in WhatsApp<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Start_an_Encrypted_Secret_Chat_in_Telegram\"><\/span>How to Start an Encrypted Secret Chat in Telegram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that you understand how the Secret Chat feature works, let\u2019s see it in practice.
