Step 3. Scroll through the settings menu, and tap on the Privacy and Security option.
Now, let’s go through each option individually and how you can change the settings to alter the level of privacy and security.
Blocked Users – This is not a feature but rather a list of the accounts you may have blocked on the Telegram messaging app. If you are using the app for the first time and you have not blocked any users, this list will be empty.
Passcode and Face ID – This option allows you to set a passcode to add a new layer of security to your chats. This way, whenever you open the app, you will be required to enter this passcode before you can access the conversations. However, the catch here is that if you forget the passcode, the only solution is to uninstall the app and reinstall it.
Two-Step Verification – This feature allows you to put in a two-step verification option across the app. This way, you receive a unique code on your phone number when you want to perform certain actions on the Telegram app.
