Telegram private groups has a feature that simply allows group admins to hide chat history for new members or make it visible.
If set to “Visible”, new members will be able to see messages that were sent to the group before they joined the telegram group but if set to “Hidden”, new members will not see earlier messages.
To enable members to see messages sent before they joined, follow the following steps:
Open the telegram app
Navigate to your telegram group, open it and tap on the name
Tap on the pencil (edit) icon
Set the “group type” to private and you will see the “chat history for new members” option. Tap on it and set it to “visible”
Tap on the tick sign at the top, to save the settings.
That’s all.
Kindly note that if the telegram group type is “public”, anybody can view the group’s entire chat history by default.
