### Secret chats

Secret chats represent a special mode where messages are not saved on Telegram servers. They can only be read on the devices where the chat was created and on the recipient’s devices.

How to set it up?

  1. Go to a conversation with a user.
  2. Go to the menu.
  3. Select "Start secret chat."
  4. Confirm the creation of the chat.
### Spoilers

Spoilers allow you to hide some text so that it can only be seen after clicking.

How to set it up?

  1. Highlight the text you want to hide.
  2. Click on "Format" and choose "Hidden."
  3. The text will be hidden under a shaded area.
