What privacy protection features does Telegram have?

1. Secret Chat: End to end encryption, messages are burned immediately after reading, screenshot notification, and automatic message destruction time can be set (ranging from 30 seconds to 1 week).

2. Phone number hiding: By default, only contacts who follow each other can see their phone numbers; You can completely hide your phone number in privacy settings or only allow specific contacts to view it.

3. Hide last online time: Set who can see your "last online" time, choose "Everyone", "My Contacts" or "No one".

4. Online status hiding: Even if the last online time is not hidden, the "typing in" status can be set to not be displayed.

5. Two factor authentication (2FA): In addition to password protection, additional email verification is set up, so even if your phone number is copied, you cannot log in to your account.

How to configure Telegram privacy settings correctly?

1. Open Privacy Settings: Click on the menu in the upper left corner → Settings → Privacy and Security.

2. Phone number setting: Select "Nobody" as the phone number; If you need someone to see it, click 'Always allow' to add it to the whitelist.

3. Last online time: Set to "My contacts" or "Nobody" to avoid strangers checking your online status.

What should I do if my Telegram account is banned?

1. Reason for account suspension: Using a third-party client (unofficial Telegram) may trigger account suspension; Sending spam messages, being reported by multiple people, and posting advertisements in groups can all trigger account suspension.
