The Telegram application is taking giant steps to be one of the best messaging applications with the passage of time and its important updates. One of the interesting options is voice chat, which was initially included in the beta and is now available to stable users.
Security is one of the parameters that the Telegram application emphasizes, so much so that we can configure many sections, one of them, for example, to add a password to our conversations. This will make that even if you leave the phone in any place they will not be able to read the messages.
How to add a password to your Telegram conversations
Telegram tells us to add a password to conversations, just like WhatsApp It is an ideal task if you want to avoid snoopers at home. Security is sometimes necessary if we want to maintain our privacy and we can add a PIN so that only we can unlock it.
To be able to enter the application we have to enter that code, sometimes it is good to even keep it if we want to maintain the security of both you and your contacts. This encryption is done from the settings themselves, from there it can be activated and deactivated.
To add a password to your Telegram conversations you have to do the following:
- Open the Telegram application on your Android phone
- Now access the three horizontal lines to access the options
- Now click on Settings and enter Privacy and Security
- Once inside, look in the Security section for an option that says "Lock code", click on it
- Now activate the option by sliding to the right and it will show you a new window that says "Put a code", here enter one that you always remember, it has to be four digits
- After doing so you can do several things, one of them says "Autolock" in 1 hour by default, you can set it to 1 minute, 5 minutes, 1 hour, 5 hours or even deactivate it, it is advisable to set the shortest time, 1 minute
- You also have the option of unlocking with your fingerprint so that everything is faster, it helps if you have forgotten that four-number PIN
