Secret Chats, 2FA, disappearing messages — locking Telegram down

Email subject:Day 6: Privacy & Security — Locking It Down 🔒

What Makes Telegram's Security Different

Regular Telegram chats are encrypted client-server (Telegram can technically read them). Secret Chats are end-to-end encrypted — only you and the recipient can read them, and they leave no trace on Telegram's servers. For sensitive conversations, Secret Chats are the right choice.

The One Thing to Do Today

Enable Two-Step Verification if you haven't already. It takes 3 minutes and is the single most important security upgrade for your Telegram account. Everything else is optional — this isn't.

⚡ Today's Action

Settings → Privacy and Security → Two-Step Verification. Set it up now. Then check Active Sessions and boot anything unfamiliar.

💡 Pro Tip

If you start a Secret Chat on your phone, it only exists on that device. You can't access it from desktop or another phone. That's intentional — it's how the security model works.
