The best option is to delete the Telegram cache using the app itself

The cache is a part of the phone’s internal storage in which certain files are stored. Of a temporary nature generally, they serve to optimize the performance of the apps. However, they can end up being counterproductive if they take up too much space. That is why freeing this memory is key on many occasions, especially in the case of apps that consume as much space as Telegram.

As standard, we know a generic method to clear the cache memory of apps on Android, which is to go to the phone settings. However, Telegram is one of the exceptions in that it is also allowed to empty from the app and more effectively. And the latter is not a saying, since, as you can see, you can delete much more data than from the phone settings.

So that you can achieve your task and delete your Telegram cache, you just have to follow the following steps:

First step

In Telegram, open the drop-down menu on the left. Then enter the “Settings” section.

Second step

After that, go to the “Data and Storage” section.

Third step

Next, now click on “Storage usage”.

Fourth step

Finally, press the “Clear cache” button.

Don’t forget to set limits for Telegram

After you already know how to clear the cache manually in Telegram. Perhaps it is also interesting to set a limit so that it does not occupy more than a certain amount of space. So you will not have to be constantly aware of the memory occupied by the application.

To achieve this, you must return to the same menu as before (Data and storage). But instead of just hitting the “Clear Cache” button. You should slide down and until you see the “Maximum cache size” option. The convenient thing to do would be to move the bar and set it to 5 GB, which is the minimum you can set. Another setting that may benefit you is to disable the automatic downloading of media files. This way, when you receive a lot of files they will not be downloaded automatically. And you can manually choose which files you want to download. This setting can also be found in the “Data and Storage” section.

Once you have followed the steps in this article. It is advisable to keep checking the cache space occupied by Telegram from time to time and you can delete it if you see it necessary. However, you can now rest easy knowing that it will not get out of control. At most, it will take up 5 GB, which is already quite a lot in itself. Thanks for reading. Goodbye!

Hide your personal information

An excellent way to improve your privacy in Telegram is to hide your personal information, this way it will not be visible to strangers and people you do not want to access this data. In Telegram when you add a contact, they are given permission to access most of your data automatically. This can be avoided in a fairly simple way, by changing the visibility of your personal information, so that no one can see it. This way only the people you decide will be able to access this information. It also makes sense, because in Telegram you don’t need to know a person’s number to talk to them.

First step

Open Telegram and go to Settings

Second step

Then go to the “Privacy & Security” section.

Third step

After that, tap “Phone number”. Then select “Nobody”. This way no one will have access to your phone number.

Fourth step

Then repeat the third step with parameters such as profile pictures, last seen, online, forwarded messages, calls, Group, Channels. Keep in mind that the idea is to restrict who can access your information.

This way when you add someone or vice versa, they will not be able to access this information, unless you allow them to.

How to hide your number from a new contact.

When you add a Telegram user, to your contacts from the app itself, you must take into account that your number is displayed. It is best to disable this option. To do this, after clicking on “Add contact”, you must uncheck the box that says “Share my number with contact”. This way, you will be able to save this person in your address book, but without them having access to your phone number.

Disable the notification “Contact joined Telegram”

Another useful tip that can help you improve your experience when using Telegram is to disable that annoying notification when a new contact joins Telegram. It can get really annoying, but the solution is simple and is done by changing a setting.

First step

Open Telegram and go to Settings

Second step

Then click on “Notifications and sounds”.

Third step

After that, scroll down to the “Events” section.

Fourth step

Finally, disable the option “Contact joined Telegram”.

Conclusion

We should be more and more careful with our personal information so that it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. Telegram has a set of options that will allow you to achieve this and improve your privacy. You decide who has access to your information. Thanks for reading us. Bye!

What Rambox is and how it works.

Rambox is a specialized tool for web applications. But it also specializes in online communications. That is to say, web applications that focus on email, instant messaging, and social networking. Consequently, it allows you to centralize them in a single app. For that reason, its usefulness ranges from domestic to professional use. Because whatever your profile is, you will always need to communicate with friends, family, clients, or co-workers.

On the other hand, it is a multi-platform application, since it is available for Windows, Linux, and macOS. Currently, it is available in two versions, one free called Community Edition. And another paid edition called Pro. The free edition has limitations on the number of apps and some features geared towards professional use. However, it is more than sufficient for the home user. Well, you can download any of its versions from this link.

The best thing about Rambox is its customizable menu.

The operation of Rambox is very simple. Once the program is opened it will show the number of apps available to be executed.

Then select the app you want to open, in this case, WhatsApp. Immediately a menu will be displayed to edit the location and notification parameters of the app. Add the service to open the App window.

Then configure the service to start.

Next, the service is active in the form of a tab.

The tabbed organization is a very useful feature in this app. In addition, every time you open Rambox, all the services you have started will be automatically opened. This way, you don’t have to open them one by one. On the other hand, you can enable the Don’t Disturb feature to limit notifications. You can also assign a master password for security purposes. This password must be entered every time you open the app. You can also create an account at Rambox. This allows you to sync applications and settings between multiple computers.

Conclusion

As you can see, this program is an ideal alternative to manage instant messaging apps in one. In addition, its security protocols are high as they do not store user credentials. On the other hand, it is a free and open-source app. Finally, we learned how to manage instant messaging applications with Rambox. Before saying goodbye, I invite you to see our post about the best programs to create a bootable USB. Bye.

Rambox an extraordinary app for Ubuntu

Rambox is an application that intends to govern all our communication accounts in a single workspace. For example, with Rambox we can have several Gmail or Outlook accounts in a single application. But not only that, it supports Whatsapp, Telegram and other messaging services. So if you use many of these services, Rambox is for you.

Rambox has a free version that I consider sufficient for most users. However, it also has business plans to further extend the features it brings to us. Some of them are:

• Keyboard shortcuts. With this, the use of Rambox will be quite efficient.
• Also, you can enable and disable applications without deleting them.
• To improve the use of the application, there is a Do not disturb mode

Rambox takes the security aspect very seriously. So you can set up a master password to access your services. You will also be able to create and configure your own applications.

So let’s install this app for Ubuntu.

Install Rambox on Ubuntu

Rambox is an application that is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS. The detail with Linux is that it is only distributed under the snap format. So, we could say that it is an app for Ubuntu.

To install it open a terminal and run the following command:

:~$ sudo snap install rambox

Then, once the installation is finished, you can run it from the main menu.

As you can see, there are many services available. In my case, I will add Outlook.

Then, you need to type your credentials.

Now you only have to enjoy this application that competes directly with Franz.

You can also read our post about Franz.

Conclusion

Rambox comes to unify our accounts into one. With great support and modern features, make it an application to keep in mind. Especially if we use many accounts and that will help us to avoid having so many tabs in the web browser.

I must admit that Franz is one of my indispensable applications on my Linux desktop. It is a fantastic application that allows to have in one place many accounts of the most popular services such as Gmail, WhatsApp, Telegram, Google Keep, Slack and many others.

Franz allows you to add each service many times. This makes it the perfect tool to manage multiple business and private accounts all at the same time.

Franz Features

there are many features that make it a benchmark for desktop communications. Some of its features are the following:

• It is open source (Apache 2 Licence) , which means that you can examine its source code and detect errors.
• Multiplatform. This guarantees that you can use it in many computers. There are versions for Windows, Linux and Mac.
• Supports a lot of communication services. Most of them very popular worldwide.
• It is available in many languages such as English, Spanish, Italian, French, Russian, Japanese and many more. It is very likely that you have the application in your language.

So, let’s install Franz.

Installing and using Franz on Linux

If you use Ubuntu or Debian there are two ways to get Franz on your computer. First, you can do this by downloading and installing the .DEB package. However, not everyone uses these Linux distributions. For them there is the appimage format.

The AppImage format is a kind of portable application for Linux. This greatly facilitates the distribution of applications on Linux. It does not require special execution permissions and even novices will feel comfortable with this format.

So you have to go to the download section and choose the AppImage option.

Once the file is downloaded, assign it execution permission and open it by double clicking.

:~$ chmod +x file_name

When you run it, you will see the image above. An advantage of Franz is that he allows you to have an account and in it you can add the services you need. If you don’t have one, you can create it for free, although there is a paid version.

Once you’re logged in, it’s a good idea to first review the options so you can configure it to your liking. Click File -> Settings.

In the following image, I show you the services I currently have configured. Click on Your Services section.

And you can add a service. There are many options.

When you decide to add one, you will be asked for credentials in order to access it. Then you can enjoy it.

One of the main advantages of using Franz on Linux is that you can take advantage of native notifications for your messages. In addition, you can use WhatsApp from the desktop, since there is no official Linux client.

Conclusion

Franz helps us to have many online ditches in one place. Being created with Electron makes it multiplatform and the way to get it is really simple.
