Add Exceptions: You can add specific users to "Always Allow" or "Never Allow," overriding the general setting.
Best Practice: Set this to My Contacts. This significantly reduces the likelihood of being added to random or spammy groups.
II. Managing Your Visibility and Anonymity Within Groups
Once you're in a group, you can control how visible your personal information is to other members.
While in a group, members might be able to see your spain telegram phone number list if you haven't restricted it in your general privacy settings.
Setting: Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Phone Number.
Best Practice: Set "Who can see my phone number?" to Nobody or My Contacts. This is crucial. If it's set to "Everyone," anyone in a group you're in could potentially see your number.
Profile Photo Visibility:
Setting: Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Profile Photo.
Best Practice: Consider setting this to My Contacts or Nobody to prevent all group members from seeing your profile picture, especially if you're in large or public groups.
Last Seen & Online Status:
Setting: Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Last Seen & Online.
Best Practice: Set to My Contacts or Nobody to prevent all group members from seeing when you were last online or if you are currently online.
Username (for Anonymity):
If you have a username (e.g., @yourusername), people can find and contact you without knowing your phone number.
Why it helps privacy: Allows you to participate in groups without revealing your phone number to other members (as long as you have your phone number privacy set correctly).
Best Practice: Use a username if you want to interact in groups without directly sharing your phone number. However, choose a username that doesn't easily identify you if you seek higher anonymity.
Anonymous Admins:
For Group Admins Only: If you are an admin of a group, you can choose to "Remain Anonymous." When enabled, your messages in the group will be posted under the group's name instead of your personal name, and you won't appear in the group's member list (though other admins can still see your identity).
