In order to offer to secure users’ accounts better, Telegram is seen testing a new feature – the ability to add email accounts to users’ chat accounts. This was spotted by a leaker, who shared screenshots depicting this support.
When enabled, users may see this option in the Privacy and Setting section to add an email address and be used for verification whenever they try login into a new device. There’s also a Google integration for linking Gmail accounts with one click.
Email Linking in Telegram
Chat accounts these days are as important as bank accounts, as they carry valuable information between two personal accounts. Thus, to protect them better, Telegram is working on new support – email linking – for user accounts.
As shared by Alessandro Paluzzi, Telegram users may soon be allowed to link their email addresses to their respective chat accounts, which can be used as a better verification system next time when they login to a new device.
