How to use Telegram for business purposes. And… more! 1- Disable previewing messages to preserve privacy. There are times when you may meet your colleagues or friends or be in a public place full of people around you, and then you are surprised while using the phone by the appearance of a message from someone and it is displayed in a pop-up window on the screen. If there is someone who takes a look at your phone screen, he will be able to read the content of the message.

Therefore, as a user concerned about his privacy, you can disable this feature in Telegram, so that the message preview is not displayed in a pop-up window, but rather hidden in the notification panel. You simply need to open the application on your phone, then press the menu button at the top left and choose “Settings” and from there go to the “Notification and Sounds” section, then disable the “Message Preview” feature under the “Message Notifications” section. This way you ensure that the content of the messages you receive through the Telegram application is not disclosed.

2- Search for a word, phrase, or sentence within conversations. It is very boring and exhausting to find old messages that you have previously sent in one of the conversations. It may take some time to scroll to the bottom to search for a specific message that you want to check or respond to. Therefore, the Telegram application includes a search feature within conversations. Through this feature, you can quickly access a word, phrase, or long sentence that you sent a while ago through the application. All you have to do is: open the application, then enter the conversation you want to search within, then press the three-dot button at the top right to choose from the “Search” menu. Immediately after that, the keyboard will appear to you where you type what you want to search for and press the Enter button, and the text you are looking for will immediately be selected.

I know that the WhatsApp application has the same feature, but Telegram has another addition, where you can specify the time and date on which this message was sent so that it is found faster, and this is what is not available in the WhatsApp application. 3- Change your username if you do not want to share your contact details such as: your real name, phone number. You can easily set or change the username of your account so that a link is created that you can copy and share with anyone so that they can start a conversation with you directly without knowing the real account information.

What you need to do is open the application, then click on the menu button located in the upper left corner, then click on the “Settings” option and then click on “Username” and from there you can set the username you want in English, including more than 5 letters. After completing, click “Save” to create the unique link for your account. 4- Manage media downloads automatically. The Telegram application allows you to manage the media and data that is stored on your phone more efficiently. The application allows you to send more than 1 GB of files easily, and that in itself is a great feature that is unique from any other messaging application.

However, by default, files are automatically downloaded and stored on the phone whether you are connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi or mobile data. You can change this and manage media and storage easily after opening the application, then going to “Settings”, then going to the “Data and Storage” section, then disabling the “Automatic media download” option. Note that the Telegram application also allows you to set a specific limit on the size of photos, audio messages, video clips, files and music that are automatically downloaded to the device; That is, if you receive a video with a size of 10 MB, it will be automatically downloaded and saved on the phone’s memory - assuming you set a limit of 10 MB - while if the video is 20 MB, it will not be downloaded.

All you have to do is go to the “Data and Storage” section, then click on the type of files that you want to limit the downloading of, then specify the size through the Limit by Size bar. 5- Control who can see your last appearance. This feature is considered very useful in messaging applications, as it allows you to know when the last time your friends and acquaintances were online and using the application. Of course, you can disable this feature if it will cause embarrassment to you.

When you want to do this on the Telegram application, go to “Settings”, then to the “Privacy and Security” section, then click on “Last Seen”. Note that by default the application sets the setting to “Everyone”, while you can change that and make “Your Last Seen” appear to registered contacts only, or disable it and prevent it from appearing to everyone. Unlike the WhatsApp application, if the user disables the “last appearance” view for everyone, he will not be able to see the last appearance of others as well. But in Telegram, you can choose specific contacts so that only they can see your last appearance.

6- Preventing media from being saved automatically in the gallery When one of your friends sends you a photo or video in messages and you open it and download it on the device, it automatically appears in the studio application or the virtual gallery on the phone. This has also caused embarrassment for some, so you can prevent the application from showing the media in the gallery while it remains saved in the phone’s memory without problems. Just go to Settings, scroll down and disable Save to Gallery. By doing this, you will prevent Telegram from automatically displaying media in the gallery.

7- Locking Telegram conversations This is considered the best feature in the Telegram application, and I hope it is available in all other messaging applications, as it enables you to close the application and prevent access to conversations until after confirming the identity by fingerprint, password, or PIN code. In fact, there are multiple third-party applications that help you achieve this; But it is better for the protection to be from the application itself and not an external application in order to guarantee 100% protection from hackers. To activate the feature, open the application and go to “Settings”, then go to the “Privacy and Security” section, then click on the “Passcode Lock” option under the “Security” section, then activate the feature and select an identification method such as a password, PIN code, or even through the pattern.

8- Log in with more than one account. If you have more than one account on Telegram to separate personal and work conversations, you can use the two accounts from the same phone with ease without the need to clone the application using third-party tools. All you have to do is press the menu button at the top left, then press the downward arrow button in front of the account name, then click “Add Account” to enter the phone number of the other account so it can be added.
