Maintaining privacy on Telegram is essential for content creators who want to safeguard their personal information while engaging with fans, clients, or collaborators and who want to keep their creator persona separate from their friends and family. Here are additional privacy tips tailored specifically for creators:

Go to Settings > Edit Profile and set a display name that doesn’t reveal your real-life personal information. Consider using your stage name, brand name, or an alias to maintain anonymity in Drops and professional interactions.

Why it matters: Using your real name can unintentionally expose your identity to strangers, or people you may know in your personal life, which may compromise your privacy and safety.

Keep your Telegram bio short and free of identifying details. Many creators leave this section blank or use a simple tagline that aligns with their brand (e.g., “Creator & Collaborator”).

Why it matters: Including personal or location-specific details in your bio can make you more vulnerable to unwanted attention or potential misuse of information.

Telegram’s desktop app is ideal for managing messages and participating in Drops, especially for creators handling multiple profiles. It allows you to keep your accounts organized and separate from personal chats.

Pro Tip: Use separate devices or browser profiles for different Telegram accounts to avoid overlap or accidental messages.

Why it matters: The desktop app streamlines communication and ensures smoother participation in Drops, while reducing the risk of accidentally sharing personal content.

Telegram’s Saved Messages feature is a personal chat where you can store templates, links, captions, and images for quick access during Drops. This helps you stay organized and maintain consistency in your messaging.

How to use it: Forward messages, copy-paste templates, or upload frequently used images to your Saved Messages chat.

Why it matters: Being prepared with pre-written content reduces stress during Drops, helps ensure you always meet group guidelines, and helps avoid accidental sharing of personal content.

In Telegram, go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Two-Step Verification and set a password for your account. This adds an extra layer of protection, ensuring only you can access your account even if someone else gains access to your phone.

Why it matters: Two-step verification prevents unauthorized access to your Telegram account, keeping your messages and personal data secure.

In Telegram, go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Invites and limit who can add you to groups. Set this option to “My Contacts” or create a custom list of trusted individuals.

Why it matters: Restricting group invitations reduces spam and prevents being added to groups that could compromise your privacy or security.

In Telegram, go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Phone Number and set it to “Nobody.”

Why it matters: Hiding your phone number ensures that strangers can’t contact you through your personal number and keeps people who know your number in real life from finding your creator account, keeping your identity private.

Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Active Sessions and review all devices where your Telegram account is logged in. End any sessions you don’t recognize or no longer use.

Why it matters: Regularly checking your active sessions ensures that no unauthorized device has access to your Telegram account.

If someone is being intrusive or disrespectful, you can mute or block them. Go to their profile, tap the three-dot menu, and select “Block User.”

Why it matters: Blocking users ensures a safe and distraction-free environment, allowing you to focus on your work.
