Setting up messages as “automatic deletion” is great, as it kills two birds with one stone: your various apps and social networks won’t be clogged with conversations that no longer matter, and you won’t have to worry about privacy that entails leaving your messages sitting forever. I especially love Telegram’s new approach to automatically delete old messages: now the app can automatically delete entire conversations for both parties. Sorry, people looking for old chats to lure you with something you said months ago.
To get started with this useful feature, make sure you’ve upgraded to the latest version of Telegram for Android or iOSand then launch the app and start a conversation. On Android, tap the triple dot icon and select “Clear story,” and choose your duration.
On iOS, tap and hold any group chat message. You will see an option to select this message. Tap it, then tap “Clear chat” at the top left. You will then receive this message:
Tap Enable automatic deletion, and you can select whether chat messages should disappear for all members after a day or week.
G / O Media may receive a commission
Whatever you choose, on any platform, group chat will automatically inform everyone that messages will now be automatically deleted. Be prepared for the subsequent response attack.
This is. I recommend enabling it because, honestly, how often do you have to go back and look at old messages? If you think you need to refer to something again, you can always take a screenshot before the message pops up.
How to create Telegram invitation links in a limited time
Speaking of privacy, the Telegram update also adds new expired invitations to the mix. This feature means you can send invitations to your various groups and channels without worrying about these links, giving access to everyone who finds them in your chats forever.
To get started (at least on iOS), drag a group or channel, tap its icon at the top right, and tap Add members. Tap Invite the group via the linkand then tap Manage invitation links. Tap Create a new linkand then you can limit the number of times people use the link for a period of time (from one hour to a week), an expiration date, or the number of users (and uses).
While I’d love for the feature to have the option to kick people out after a period of inactivity (such as temporary Discord invitations to servers), Telegram updates still offer amazing usage. to manage your most extensive chats.
