<p>We know you love Telegram for its seamless multi-device sync. And since there are native <ahref="https://telegram.org/apps">Telegram apps</a> for all major mobile, tablet and desktop OSs, a lot of you folks must be logged into your Telegram accounts from several devices at once.</p>
<p>Today's Telegram update, in addition to <ahref="https://telegram.org/blog/link-preview">rich link summaries</a>, adds <strong>Active Sessions</strong> to your Privacy and Security settings. This screen shows all your logged in devices with IP info. You can also close any sessions that are outdated or (God forbid!) suspicious.</p>

<p>Another addition to the Privacy and Security section is <strong>Two Step Verification</strong>. It allows you to set up a password that will be required every time you log into your account from a new device – in addition to the code you get in the SMS. </p>
<p>Be careful though: if you forget this password, you won't be able to access your messages from other devices. We recommend setting up a recovery e-mail or at least a hint for your password, if you decide to turn on <strong>Two Step Verification</strong>.</p>
