How to Hide an Account in PTelegram

If you enable this feature in the settings and enter a decoy passcode when unlocking the messenger, PTelegram automatically hides the selected account and stops delivering notifications from it.

⚙️ How to enable:

Settings → Privacy and Security → Passcode Lock → Fake Passcode → Account-specific Actions (select the account you want to hide) → Hide Account

The Strict Hiding option reduces the chance that someone will discover the hidden account, but it also makes the account less convenient to use. For example, after you unlock the app with your real passcode, messages that arrived while the account was hidden may not appear.

❗️Hiding an account helps during a quick phone inspection. However, during a thorough examination authorities may still find traces of the account, so logging out of the account provides stronger protection.
