Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Start a Private Chat

To start a private chat on Telegram, open the application and select a contact. In this example, I choose Fabio. It's important that you have not interacted with this person before to provide a clear introduction to the private chat. In this case, I also write to him as a precaution that this is a test.

Step 2: Compose and Send a Message

After composing the message, you can simply send it. There are several ways to do this. You can press the "Send" button or use the Enter key to change lines. If you want to send the message, you need to use the combination of Ctrl + Enter. Make sure that this feature is enabled in your settings to avoid unwanted message transmissions.

Step 3: Check the Message Status

Once the message is sent, a new symbol will appear indicating that Fabio has not yet read the message. This way, you can easily monitor which messages have been viewed and which ones have not.

Step 4: Text Formatting and Available Features

In private chat, you can also send text in different formats. For example, you can enter the word "Test" in a larger font. In addition, you have access to several features: sending images, emojis, as well as the ability to record voice messages.

Step 5: Send Media and Files

To send media content, such as an image, click on the paperclip icon. You can select an image that is already in your download folder. Telegram now displays media in a small preview, making selection easier. You can also upload other files like Excel sheets, which can then be downloaded without any issues.

Step 6: Record a Voice Message

With the microphone icon, you can record a voice message. This is especially useful when using the Telegram app on your smartphone. Note that you may need to grant the application access to your microphone to use this feature.

Step 7: View Contact Information

If you click on Fabio, you can see his contact details. There you can find out when he was last online and also set notifications for when he is active in the chat.

Step 8: Manage Messages

You can easily select older messages to reply to them, forward them, or even delete them. To do this, click on the three dots in the upper right corner of the chat. You have the option to access and view images, videos, files, and voice messages separately, giving you a clear overview of your chat history.

Step 9: Reply to a specific message

If you want to respond to a specific message, you can select it and click on "Reply." This will highlight the selected message, so Fabio immediately knows which message you are referring to.

Step 10: Editing messages

If you make a mistake when composing the message, you have the option to edit it. For example, if you want to add an emoji or text, you can easily do so. It will show the note "edited," so Fabio can see that you have updated your message.

Summary

In this tutorial, you have learned the basics of using the Telegram private chat. You now know how to send messages, share media and files, record voice messages, view and manage contact information, reply to specific messages, and edit them. These features make communication easier and more versatile.
