I made telegram and i wanted to be sure Its safe and usable for chatting. Id like to give It between the contacts but idk since It has my phone Number and i put the @ in my profile. In the setting my Number Is hidden to others but idk ik not sure if i should use It or Just keep It for some groups.

What do you think?

I hope I didn’t disturb

Have a great day:3

    You can use it as long as you consider all conversations on there, including direct messages, as public and readable by any three letter agency out there. Telegram is not e2e encrypted, which means Telegram LLC can read all your messages and share them as they see fit.

    Also remember that they have your phone number and IP address

    In short, planning a night out with friends is probably fine, coordinating a protest is probably not.
