Telegram

Privacy as a Right, Not a Feature

Built to keep your messages private and your account secure, no matter what.

Encryption

Dual-layer end-to-end encryption

All data in Telegram is heavily encrypted. Our Cloud Chats use server-client encryption, while Secret Chats add an extra layer of client-client end-to-end encryption.

This ensures that your messages are safe from hackers, ISPs, and any other third parties, keeping your private life truly private.

Safety

Your account,

Your control

Your account,

Your control

Telegram includes extra layers of protection beyond encrypted conversations. With tools like 2-Step Verification, passcode lock, and active session management, you can better secure access to your account across devices.

This helps you stay in control of who can sign in, which devices remain connected, and how your account stays protected if a phone is lost, stolen, or compromised.
