Telegram provides a convenient tool for hiding individual phrases, words, or images using spoiler formatting. Hidden text is displayed with a special pattern and can only be seen after clicking with the cursor or finger. In this guide, we’ll look at how to make hidden text on desktop and mobile versions of the messenger.
Why use hidden text
Hidden text can be used in a variety of situations. It allows you to send spoilers, for example, for movies, TV shows, games to a general group without spoiling the experience for other participants.
You can also forward personal data that should only be visible when necessary, discuss work-related matters available to a limited number of people, or simply format the message more neatly. Thanks to this tool, the user can decide which part of the information to hide and which to leave open.
How to make hidden text
To “spoiler” text on desktop and web versions of Telegram on a PC or laptop, you need to follow these steps:
- Select the necessary text.
- Right-click.
- Select the “Spoiler” option or the icon with a crossed-out eye in the formatting menu.
- Send the message.
The text will be sent to the recipient in the form of a rectangle filled with dots.
To send hidden text on a smartphone, follow similar steps:
- Select the desired text.
- Click the three dots on the right in the pop-up window or open the “Format” tab.
- Select the “Hidden” option.
- Send the message.
The text remains hidden even in the pop-up notification and when forwarding to another chat. A universal method for hiding text on both PC and smartphone is a special combination of two symbols “|”. When sending the desired message, place them on the left and right.
How to make hidden images and videos
To hide an image, just like text, just click a couple of buttons:
- On a computer or laptop, when sending an image, select the three dots in the upper right corner and use the “Mark as spoiler” option.
- On smartphones, when selecting the file to send, similarly, select the ellipsis at the top and use the “Hide under spoiler” tab.
