How do I enable two-step verification in Telegram on iPhone

1. Open the Telegram App: Launch the Telegram app on your iPhone.

2. Access Settings: Tap on the Settings icon located at the bottom right corner of the screen.

3. Navigate to Privacy and Security: Select Privacy and Security from the settings menu.

4. Select Two-Step Verification: Tap on Two-Step Verification within the Security section.

5. Set Additional Password: Choose Set Additional Password. You will need to create a password that will be required in addition to the one-time code sent to your phone.

6. Create Password: Enter your chosen password twice to confirm it. Optionally, you can create a password hint to help you remember it.

7. Set Recovery Email: You will also be prompted to enter a recovery email address. This is important for recovering your account if you forget your password. After entering the email, Telegram will send a verification code to that address; enter this code to confirm.

8. Finish Setup: Once you have completed these steps, tap Return to Settings to finalize the setup.

After enabling two-step verification, you will need to enter both your SMS code and this additional password whenever you log into Telegram from a new device, enhancing your account's security significantly[1][2][5][6].
