Activate a lock code on Telegram
Today we are going to teach you how to put a lock code on Telegram for iPhone. Thus we will add more security to this instant messaging app. We will prevent anyone from accessing our chats.
Telegram is the messaging app that really overshadows WhatsApp and is perhaps the only one that can unseat this great almighty. And it is that it offers us very good options and that we can use in our day to day, such as stickers, GIF, more security
In this case we focus on security, since we can add a lock code when entering our chats .
How to put a lock code on Telegram:
What we have to do is go to the app settings, clicking on the gear icon (as in any app). Once inside, we must click on the "Privacy and security" tab.
Here we press the tab with the name of Code and Face ID/Touch ID. This will depend on the terminal we have.
Activate Code and Face ID on Telegram
We will see a tab that asks us to activate our code.
Enable code lock
We enter it and this other menu will appear.
Prevent them from entering the app without your permission
Here we can activate the possibility of accessing Telegram using Touch ID or Face ID, without having to enter a code. That is your choice.
As you will see, another option called Autoblock also appears. This allows us to configure the time that can be active without having to enter the code. During the time that we stipulate, the app after its last use, will not need us to enter any password to access it. For privacy and security issues, we advise you to spend as little time as possible. In this case it is 1 minute .
Now, if we trust the top of the chats, we'll see a padlock appear. If we click on it, the app asks for the code. Try it and see.
Padlock on Telegram chats
That padlock tells you that we have activated the lock on Telegram.
In this simple way we can put a lock code in Telegram and thus make this app much more secure than it currently is. So, if you were unaware of this feature, give it a try.
