Telegram is a popular messaging app that offers a convenient way to communicate with others. One of its useful features is the ability to view chats without opening them, which can be helpful in certain situations. In this text, we will explain how to read a Telegram chat without opening it and how to prevent the sender from knowing that you have read their messages.
How to read a Telegram chat without opening it
Telegram has a handy trick – you can view chats without entering them. This comes in handy when you don’t want the sender to know that you have read their messages; for example, you need time to think for a reply, or you don’t want to continue the conversation at all, but you are curious to read them.
On iOS, it’s simple:
- Tap and hold on to the chat you want, and it will open in a pop-up window.
- Don’t be afraid to accidentally “fall” into the chat, because you can’t do that from the preview mode.
- You can safely scroll through the messages and the sender will not realize that you read everything.
On Android, the process is not as obvious. If you hold down the chat, selection and editing mode will start. But you can still view the correspondence: to do this, do not hold down the chat itself, but its avatar. Scroll through the messages carefully! From the pop-up window in Android, you can accidentally “fall” into the chat if you tap on it.
By using these tips, you can make the most of Telegram’s features while maintaining your privacy and control over your communication
By the way, the sender can bypass this trick and still force the recipient to enter the chat and reply to the message.
