Recently, Telegram for Android rolled out a new update. The update packs some new features like Auto-delete messages, home screen widgets, broadcast groups, etc. Out of all those, the Auto-Delete message seems to be the best one. The Auto-delete message feature brings the self-destructing timer even in personal chats, group chats, and channels. There’s another difference between the Self-destructing timer and the auto-delete timer. Unlike the Secret chats, Telegram’s auto-delete message timer starts when you send the message and not when the recipient reads it. So, what that means is that the message may expire even before the recipient reads it. Also Read: How to Hide Your Phone Number in Telegram
