Telegram is one of the most secure instant messaging applications, yes, they can be safe, but it depends on the source. Telegram links that lead to official channels, groups, or content created by trusted individuals or organizations are generally secure.

But that does not mean all the links on this application are legit. Most of them come from unknown sources that could steal your information.

Most spammy Telegram links will redirect you to another website. It happens often on illegal Telegram channels that provide downloading links for movies or videos. You can check if the link will redirect to another website by putting the URL on wheregoes.com.

First things first, you should never click on unknown links. And, if it is redirecting to another unknown website, strictly avoid tapping on such links.

The link you see might not be the actual link. Telegram has the option to create a link.

Most spam links on Telegram will try to download an Apk file. Do not strictly download any Apk files. Most of them contains virus and can infect your phone. In case you’ve already downloaded an Apk file from Telegram, do not install it. Open the File Manager, find this Apk file, and delete it right away. Never download an Apk file from unknown channels and groups on Telegram.

If you want to check the unknown link, better connect to a VPN and open the link in a new browser where you have not stored your personal information or card details.
