Telegram Location Share Another security feature that adds usability is usernames. Instead of giving people your phone number, you can simply give them your username. This gives you better control over what information is out there, and how people can contact you in the future.

This saves both time and storage space – so you don't have to save the file before sending it in Telegram. To preview a chat, simply press and hold its profile picture in your chat list.

On iPhone, open a chat, tap the contact's name at the top, choose More, and then hit Start Secret Chat.
