FAQs
You need to permit Telegram to allow it to use your microphone and camera (for video messages). Without these permissions, you will not be able to send voice messages.
For iOS: Go to Settings > “Privacy & Security” > “Microphone” > Find Telegram in the list and turn the toggle on.
For Android: Go to Settings > “Apps” > “Telegram” > “Permissions” > “Microphone” > “Allow access.”
Look for the ticks on the message. A single tick on a message means it is delivered to the person. A double tick signifies that the person has seen or read your message. Unlike WhatsApp, you cannot disable the read receipt on Telegram.
