How to enable automatic deletion of messages in Telegram
Telegram has provided an automatic message deletion function since 2013. After enabling this function, all messages sent or received by users can be completely deleted. Users can also set timed deletion, that is, your chat records will be deleted automatically after the time you specify. Of course, Telegram also makes it easy to set up auto-delete in small private groups. Any member who can change the group name and picture can also use this timer.
But it should be noted that this feature is limited to all new chat messages, old chat messages will not be affected. The timer is automatically added to all new group chats and user chats you start, no matter who started the conversation.
Here's a step-by-step guide to help you learn how to enable automatic deletion of information:
