Preliminary information
Before getting to the heart of the guide, going to explain how to send timed photos on Telegram, there is some preliminary information that it is my duty to provide you to allow you to have perfectly clear ideas about it.
You have to know, in fact, that with Telegram it is possible to send timed photos in two different ways: using i timed messages or le secret chats. The differences between one and the other are clear-cut, although apparently it may seem the opposite.
In the first case, the messaging service allows you to send multimedia content within conversations which, starting from the opening by the recipient, they self-destruct after a set customizable time period: from 1 second to 1 minute. When the timer expires, the message disappears from both devices and leaves no trace. Furthermore, trying to take a screenshot, Telegram should prevent this or send a notification indicating what happened.
Le secret chats, on the other hand, they are safer chats than the "classic" ones, as they are characterized by end-to-end encryption which prevents other people and the Telegram managers themselves from intercepting the messages contained in them and allows you to set a self-destruct timer, ranging from a minimum of 1 second to a maximum of 1 week, for any type of message sent, therefore not just multimedia files. Even then, trying to take a screenshot of the Telegram contents should prevent this or send a notification. For more details, read my guide on how Telegram secret chat works.
Both functions are usable for private chats only and not for groups or channels. They are available on smartphone e tabletwhile on computer it is possible to use only the function linked to secret chats and only on MacOS.
