You can hide spoilers on Telegram to avoid ruining a movie, a book, or other information for your friends. Here’s how you can use new spoilers formatting to hide messages in Telegram.

Using the spoiler formatting means other members won’t have to mute chats to avoid seeing spoilers. Spoilers are revealed only to the people who interact with them. Even if someone replies to the spoiler message, the formatting remains intact. This feature is available in the latest update of Telegram’s desktop app for Windows, Mac, or Linux, as well as the mobile app for Android, iPhone, and iPad.
