Sometimes your Telegram account may still be logged in on an old phone, computer, or other device. Therefore, periodically check all logged-in devices by going to the Devices/Active Sessions section. If you see any unfamiliar devices, remove them immediately.

3. Put a Passcode Lock on Telegram
If someone uses your smartphone without permission, the Passcode Lock on Telegram is very useful. This adds an additional lock to opening the app and keeps your chats secure.

4. Strengthen your privacy settings.
Go to Telegram's privacy settings and set the permissions for Phone Number, Last Seen, Profile Photo, and Calls as per your needs. Avoid revealing too much personal information to strangers.

5. Be wary of unknown links and files.
If you receive a suspicious link, file, or message from an unknown person, don't open it without verifying it. Scammers may sometimes try to steal your account details through fake links.
