We do not require your screen name to be your real name. When you enable 2-step-verification for your account or store documents using the Telegram Passport feature, you can opt to set up a password recovery email. Secret chats use end-to-end encryption. This means that all data is encrypted with a key that only you and the recipient know. When you send photos, videos or files via secret chats, before being uploaded, each item is encrypted with a separate key, not known to the server. This key and the file’s location are then encrypted again, this time with the secret chat’s key — and sent to your recipient. They can then download and decipher the file. This means that the file is technically on one of Telegram’s servers, but it looks like a piece of random indecipherable garbage to everyone except for you and the recipient. We don’t know what this random data stands for and we have no idea which particular chat it belongs to. We periodically purge this random data from our servers to save disk space.
