Telegram needs 2 layers protection when deleting chats on both ends. This is something I am seriously concerned about when it comes to deleting chats on both ends. I get why it is useful. But think about your chat with your SO. It is the last thing you wanna delete accidentally and sometimes I even worry if my cat sits on the laptop, there is a chance it might get deleted. Maybe, Telegram should allow users to make deleting certain chats more protected. For example, deleting a particular chat may require the second step of authentication (password), instead of just two taps. This way, the trusted two ends of a chat may agree to set this lock on their chats so it cannot get deleted so "effortlessly". It will also protect these locked chats from someone malicious who happened to have access to the open account (user forgot to logout) from deleting stuff from the account. Maybe something to consider in the future. If you read this, let me know what you think.
Definitely needed. Moving from other messaging apps to Telegram to use it on a daily basis is hard if you know you are gonna have some important chats you may want to avoid being deleted by accident. +1 Moreover it wouldn't change much privacy-wise since you are still able to delete the chats, just not accidentally.

I would only agree with that if there is the "option" of doing so, as suggested later in the text. I think that for privacy purposes it's important to ensure both sides can independently delete conversations on both ends whenever they want and I wouldn't agree on changing that by default.
What I am saying does not change the way it already is. It's just an extra level of protection. If both parties have password on their chats, if any one of them enters password to delete the chat on both ends, it will still delete on both ends. If this happens, there is no questioning as to where the chat disappeared. The other party will know that the first party entered the password to delete the chat on both ends. I agree again, It should be an option, not a default setup. You gotta be able to delete spammer chats very quickly and effortlessly, but not the very important chats which may happen by accident.
Oh, I understand now. So any side would still be able to delete the conversation on both ends at any time, it's just that it would need an extra layer of protection. I apologise, I misinterpreted your idea as if you were suggesting that it should be needed that both sides agree for the deletion to be completed.
