Ideally, the app should delete text, image, audio, or video that you sent after the specified time in this mode. Telegram allows you to send self-destructing messages in a secret chat.

Security researcher Dhiraj Mishra found these bugs in Telegram’s stable macOS client (version 7.3) and reported them to the firm in December.
