Do we still have to introduce Telegram? Launched in 2013, the messaging service, available on Android, iOS, PC and macOS, has as its main feature end-to-end encryption, a feature that helps increase the security of its users’ digital exchanges.
The latter can thus exchange in complete confidentiality. However, contrary to popular belief (and what its rival WhatsApp offers), this option is not activated by default. Users must do this manually before they can safely engage in a dialog. To do this, it’s simple – just start a conversation on the “New Secret Exchange” tab.
How to encrypt exchanges on Telegram
- From the home screen, tap the blue icon at the bottom right of the screen to start a chat
- Choose the “New Secret Exchange” tab
- Click a contact
Note that exchanges issued in this context are only available on the devices on which they occurred. It is also not possible to transfer the conversation to a third party.
