# Ghost Mode

This feature available on both Android and Desktop.

# Don't Read Messages

This feature won't show the person you're talking to that you've read their message.

Listening/viewing to the voice/video message won't mark it as read too, except when you use Telegram Premium's speech-to-text.

# Don't Read Stories

Same as the previous, but for stories.

The story will be marked as viewed if you somehow react to it—send a reaction, reply, etc.—it's a server-side limitation.

# Don't Send Online

If you enable this, you won't go online if you open the client.

Notably, if you do any sus action as sending a message, you'll go online. It's a server-side limitation.

# Don't Send Typing

Disables any typing activity, such as:

• "typing..."
• "choosing a sticker"
• "playing a game"

...and others, if any.

# Go Offline Automatically

Simply puts you offline after blinking online.

# Read on Interact

If you don't want others to know you're using a Ghost Mode, you can enable this option to read messages after certain actions and appear online for a second.

# Schedule Messages

Allows you to send messages without appearing online by using scheduled messages. Works only if a full Ghost Mode is active.

It simply delays sending your message for some time.

• For simple text messages, the delay is 12 seconds
• For messages with media, it's calculated dynamically; formula is Math.max(6, (int) Math.ceil(fileSize / 1024.0f / 1024.0f * 4.5f));, where fileSize is a file size in bytes.

It can be quite buggy sometimes, and it's still not perfect. But well, it works.

Don't use on bad networks, or with a high ping.

# Alert Before Opening Story

Show a simple alert before opening any story, suggesting that you enable Ghost Mode. If you tap anywhere outside the box, it'll disappear without opening a story.
