As more aspects of citizens' personal and professional lives transition into the information sphere, the security demands on it increase. The question of whether Telegram is anonymous is no longer rhetorical. We scoured the Internet, experimented with messenger settings firsthand, and are ready to share our acquired experience.
Unfortunately, the developers did not provide such a feature. Sending an anonymous message on Telegram using standard tools is impossible. The only available solutions for users are bots that can send messages without revealing your contact, albeit with certain limitations.
For example, this Telegram bot can send anonymous text messages to chats, but only to those where it has been added. To start using this feature, follow these steps:The bot is straightforward to use, but if you get confused, you can find a video tutorial on its operation via the same link.
First of all, you need to purchase a premium subscription to the service. Only premium users can view stories on Telegram anonymously. After that, you can enable this feature as follows:
After completing these steps, you will be able to view other users' stories anonymously without sending them notifications about your view. The anonymous story viewing feature is available only in the premium version of Telegram.
The following lifehack applies to viewing groups, channels, and regular chats. If you want to view a Telegram channel anonymously, follow these steps:
The Telegram development team has successfully implemented the MTProto encryption technology in the messenger. This technology ensures confidentiality within the service. To maximize these features in your personal profile and achieve an anonymous Telegram experience, follow these steps:
Excluding your profile from the search system guarantees complete anonymity. To do this, open the Edit Profile section and clear the nickname field. This will make you almost invisible to other users, except for special bots. Even using a virtual number during registration and disabling phone number search in privacy settings will help avoid detection.
Privacy is not limited to personal profiles but also applies to groups. The anonymous group administration feature allows you to hide the administrator from the participant list while retaining the ability to post messages on behalf of the group. To use this feature:
This will instantly make the administrator invisible to group members. To remove anonymity in a Telegram group, simply disable the Anonymous option.
It’s important to note that group members cannot remain anonymous. To avoid identification, hide all information about your profile in privacy settings.
Secret chats in Telegram provide encryption for confidential conversations. However, this feature requires activation as it is disabled by default. To enable it and gain the ability to use Telegram anonymously:
Finally, achieving complete anonymity in the messenger using standard tools is a rather debatable issue. If you want to achieve full anonymity on Telegram, it’s best to take care of your personal information’s privacy in advance. The best way to do this is by using a reliable virtual number.
We recommend using the SMSBOWER activator to achieve maximum confidentiality. The number is provided for one-time use, and third parties cannot link it to you. In other words, neither the messenger nor its users will ever know who owns the account without your consent.
