Telegram Tips

Telegram Tips is the channel Telegram itself uses to teach people how to get the most out of the app. It explains new features as they launch, the buried settings almost nobody finds alone, and tricks for folders, secret chats, scheduled messages and the privacy options.

It's practical reading for any user who wants to move from basic to advanced use without trawling through forums. Because it comes from the official source, what it shares is confirmed and current with each version.

Its very reputation invites imitators. If a 'tips' channel asks you to install outside apps, type your number into a website or pay for 'hidden premium features', be suspicious: the real one only publicises what's already built into the app. When in doubt, check against Telegram's official site.
