Telegram allows users to delete chats, call history ‘without any trace’

Soon after WhatsApp’s new privacy policy, Telegram had witnessed a massive surge in new users.

Telegram has registered over 25 million new users in the last 72 hours after the announcement by WhatsApp.

However, the application has now started rolling out new features.

In a Twitter post, the messaging app said that its users could now delete messages, chats, call history, and groups that they created at any time.

“Deleted items completely disappear for all participants without a trace – your data is your business, and you have full control over it,” it said.

Earlier, Telegram introduced a new feature, allowing users to create polls on the messaging app — a move that would allow users to easily make group decisions.

“Polls can be anonymous and can allow for multiple votes, making them perfect for anything from choosing electing planetary governors to choose lunch,” the platform announced on Twitter.
