How to Start an Encrypted Secret Chat in Telegram

Now that you understand how the Secret Chat feature works, let’s see it in practice. The steps for iPhone and Android are the same, but the interface is different.

If you’re using an iPhone, tap the contact’s name from the top of a conversation to get started.

Here, tap the “More” button.

From the pop-up, select the “Start Secret Chat” option.

Select the “Start” button to confirm.

If you’re using an Android smartphone, start by tapping your contact’s name from the top of the conversation.

Here, tap the three-dot menu button from the top-right corner of the screen.

Now, select the “Start Secret Chat” option.

From the pop-up, confirm by tapping the “Start” button.

You have now entered the Secret Chat mode. Secret Chat conversations show up separately in Telegram’s chat list, and you can identify Secret Chats using the lock icon next to the user’s name.

You can now send messages in the chat as you wish.
