Partisan Telegram
(P-Telegram, PTelegram)
Partisan Telegram is a version of Telegram with a number of features that enhance your security. It helps you hide sensitive information, communicate securely, and read independent media news even under dictatorship and military occupation.
PTelegram looks like regular Telegram, including icons and design looking the same as for the original application. It can also be disguised as any app on your phone of your choice (when installing a special version with masking capabilities).
After installation, Partisan Telegram will have all the same chats, contacts, saved messages, channels, and other information as the regular app.
How P-Telegram helps protect your account
A brief overview of the main features of Partisan Telegram that help protect your correspondence, subscriptions, and other sensitive account information from unauthorised access. Here is a list of key features; the full guide is available at the link.
If you are forced to grant access
P-Telegram has a feature called Fake Passcode. You enter this second code if outsiders force you to give them access to your account. When you do this, actions you have set in advance are automatically performed, such as hiding certain chats, channels, or even the account itself.
Hide or delete sensitive information
When the Fake Passcode is entered, the specified actions are performed automatically and invisibly to the person requesting access. You can configure the hiding or deletion of specific chats, channels, and accounts, as well as other settings in case of a dangerous situation.
Emergency notificaiton(s)
In Partisan Telegram, you can set up an SOS message with text of your choice. The message will be sent to pre-selected chats if you enter the wrong password to log into the messenger.
Secret group chats
Original Telegram application makes secret chats are possible between two users only. We put a feature with the ability to create secret groups (group charts) into Partisan Telegram.
View Telegram channels without joining them
Partisan Telegram has a ‘Saved Channels’ section. You can add channels to it to keep them handy, even if you are not subscribed to them.
Self-deleting messages
Partisan Telegram lets you set up automatic deletion of certain messages in any private chat immediately after reading. This can be useful when you need to transfer sensitive information to reduce the risk of data leakage.
Video — What is P-Telegram?
We briefly explain and show what Partisan Telegram is, how it differs from regular Telegram, and why it is worth installing for anyone who cares about the security of their information in the messenger.

Voice alteration in video/audio
You can change your voice during audio/video calls and messages to make it harder to identify.

If this option is enabled, the messenger requests confirmation before subscribing to a channel, setting a reaction, etc.
Partisan Telegram for Android
You may make Partisan Telegram to look like a version of Telegram downloaded from the official messenger website or Google Play. You can also install a version disguised as any smartphone application of your choice. Select your disguising option.
Looking as downloaded from the Telegram website
This version of the Partisan Telegram has the same app icon as the original Telegram downloaded from the official messenger website.
However, Telegram is not displayed among the installed programs in Google Play. The same happens if you actually download the messenger from the official website.
If someone checks your phone and asks why Telegram is not displayed among the installed programs in Google Play, a plausible explanation would be that you downloaded the messenger from the official Telegram website.
