What happens to your Telegram profile when invisible mode is enabled?
Many times we want to be connected by Telegram and perhaps for some reason we do not want others to know when we are online. For this it is not necessary to delete a contact in Telegram , but the invisible mode is used. When enabled in this way, the Telegram profile will not show that we are connected and neither will the last connection. That way your privacy is preserved.
What is the procedure to activate the invisible mode of your account in Telegram?
Maintaining your privacy with Telegram is very easy. Next, you will see how to activate the invisible mode of your account and go unnoticed.
From the Android app
If you don’t have the app yet, we recommend downloading it from the official Telegram page. Then, once inside the application you go to the Settings , you will see a menu with several options which you must choose the one that says last time and online. In that window display the option Who can see my last time and online? There it presents you with three alternatives: All, My contacts and Nobody.
Since you want to activate the stealth mode, then check the Nobody option , so nobody will know about your activity. On the other hand, Telegram gives you the option of being able to add Exceptions so that some of your contacts do know this information. Click on Add Exceptions, then Add users and you mark the contacts you want.
With the iPhone app
In the case of the iPhone, once you have downloaded the application, you must open it by entering your phone number to receive a verification PIN and thus be able to use Telegram, which differs from WhatsApp. However. You are located in Settings represented by an icon of a wheel. There you choose the option of last time and online and then locate the aspect of Who can see my last time and status online? Click on the Nobody option to activate that mode.
Using the website
From the website it happens that Telegram does not make the invisible mode available in the web version, so when you enter the Settings it will not be possible to modify the invisible mode. However, you can use the web to use Telegram .
You enter your preferred browser and enter the electronic address of the official Telegram site . You will be asked for information such as your country, your telephone number… after adding them, click on Next. Next, you must confirm the registered data and click on OK. After a few minutes you will receive a PIN on your cell phone via text message. You must enter that code to link to your Telegram account and enter the menu.
What other privacy settings can be made in Telegram?
In the Telegram app, last time online is not the only thing you can hide from your contacts. There are also other options that you can adjust in the settings menu and are detailed below:
Hide your profile picture
Perhaps you do not want all your contacts or not added to see the photo you have in your Telegram profile. For this there is a solution, this is another of the configurations that you can make in the App.
You just have to go to the Settings menu and click on the Privacy and security option . A window will open where you can check the box of who you want to see your profile picture and check Nobody or add exceptions if you want specific people to see it.
Delete your phone number
Once you open the application, locate the Settings option and then Privacy and security. In the Privacy section, you can make your phone number private so that Everyone, Your contacts or Nobody can see it.
But if you do not want other users to know your information, then you can hide your phone number by marking one of the indicated alternatives. That way you have control over your privacy by choosing the option that suits you best.
