说到即时通讯工具，WhatsApp是最受欢迎的，但拥有超过 4 亿用户的Telegram也名列前茅。该工具以更注重隐私而闻名，比 WhatsApp、Signal 或 Facebook Messenger 更重要^{(more so than WhatsApp, Signal or Facebook Messenger)}。

Telegram Messenger 隐私^{(Telegram Messenger Privacy)}和安全提示^{(Security Tips)}

虽然我们可以肯定Telegram开箱即用就以隐私为中心，但有一些方法可以改进这一点，在本文中，我们将教你如何完成它。

现在，如果一开始您认为这并不容易，请不要担心，因为Telegram使进行与隐私相关的更改变得超级容易，并且没有理由重新启动应用程序来启动更改。

1. 导航到隐私和安全
2. 添加本地密码
3. 激活两步验证
4. 更改您的联系人看到的内容
5. 删除您的电报帐户。

让我们更详细地讨论这个问题。

1]导航到隐私和安全

好的，所以您要做的第一件事是从 Windows 10 计算机打开Telegram应用程序，然后单击汉堡菜单^{(hamburger menu)}，然后从那里单击设置^(Settings)。之后，导航到“隐私和安全^{(Privacy and Security)}”部分。

单击“隐私和安全^{(Privacy and Security)}”选项将突出显示一个部分，其中包含多个可供选择的选项，旨在在使用Telegram时保护您的隐私。

2]添加本地密码

与WhatsApp工具不同的是，用户可以在每次打开Telegram 时添加访问Telegram所需的密码。

在“本地密码^{(Local Passcode)}”部分下，请选择添加密码的选项。之后，用户可以决定是否禁用它。此外，人们可以让应用程序在设定的时间后自动锁定。

就目前而言，激活此功能后，该应用程序将自行锁定它在 1 分钟到 5 小时之间未使用。

3]激活两步验证

两步验证非常重要，特别是如果您定期在多个设备上使用Telegram 。

为了激活两步验证，我们建议如上所述通过设置区域返回^(Settings)隐私^(Privacy)和安全^(Security)部分，然后向下滚动直到遇到两步^(Two-step)验证。

单击^(Click)启用两步^(Enable)验证，然后从那里添加密码并单击保存^(Save)按钮完成，仅此而已。

4]更改您的联系人看到的内容

好的，所以如果您不希望您的联系人知道您在Telegram上所做的所有事情，可以对应用程序进行更改以确定显示的内容。

要进行更改，请再次返回Privacy and Security区域，然后转到Privacy，在此之下，您应该会看到很多可以更改的内容。例如，您可以阻止用户、决定谁可以看到您的电话号码、个人资料照片以及您上次上网的时间。

您还可以设置谁可以通过呼叫和转发消息进行联系。慢慢来，根据自己的喜好调整这些设置，你^(Just)会没事的。

5]删除您的电报帐户

现在，Telegram中有一个很酷的功能，用户可以在离开程序一段时间后自动删除他们的帐户。据我们所知，该工具可以在 1 个月、3 个月、6 个月和 1 年后自行删除。

How to improve Privacy and Security on Telegram Messenger app

When it comes down to messengers, WhatsApp is the most popular of the bunch, but with over 400 million users, Telegram is right up there as well. The tool is well known for focusing much on privacy, more so than WhatsApp, Signal or Facebook Messenger.

Telegram Messenger Privacy and Security Tips

While we can say for certain that Telegram is privacy-focused right out of the box, there are ways to improve this, and with this article, we are going to teach you how to get it done.

Now, if at first, you thought it isn’t easy, then worry not because Telegram makes it super easy to make privacy-related changes, and there is no reason to have the app restarted to initiate the changes.

1. Navigate to Privacy and Security
2. Add a local passcode
3. Activate two-step verification
4. Change what your contacts see
5. Delete your Telegram account.

Let us talk about this in more detail.

1] Navigate to Privacy and Security

OK, so the first thing you will want to do, is open the Telegram app from your Windows 10 computer, then click on the hamburger menu, and from there, and click on Settings. After that, navigate to the section that reads, Privacy and Security.

Clicking on the Privacy and Security option will highlight a section with several options to choose from designed to protect your privacy when using Telegram.

2] Add a local passcode

Unlike the WhatsApp tool, users can add a passcode that is required to access Telegram each time the user opens it.

From under the section that says Local Passcode, please select the choice to add a passcode. After that, the user can decide to disable it or not. Furthermore, folks can have the app automatically lock itself after a set amount of time.

As it stands, when this feature is activated, the app will lock itself it not used from between 1 minute and 5 hours.

3] Activate two-step verification

Two-step verification is very important, especially if you use Telegram on a regular basis and on multiple devices.

In order to activate two-step verification, we suggest returning to the Privacy and Security section via the Settings area as explained above, then scroll down until you come across Two-step verification.

Click on Enable two-step verification, and from there, add a password and finish by hitting the Save button and that’s it for that.

4] Change what your contacts see

OK, so if you do not want your contacts to know of all the things you do on Telegram, changes can be made to the app to determine what is shown.

To make the changes, return to the Privacy and Security area once more, then go to Privacy, and below that, you should see quite a few things you can change. For example, you can block users, decide who sees your phone number, profile photo, and when you last came online.

You can also set who is able to make contact via calls and forwarded messages. Just take your time and tailor these settings to your liking and you’ll be fine.

5] Delete your Telegram account

Now, there is a cool feature in Telegram where users can have their accounts automatically deleted after being away from the program for a time. From what we can tell, the tool can delete itself after 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year.
