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.
I wonder why an important feature like this is not employed with extreme urgency. I've experienced two times a relatives of mine just delete the whole chat instead of a single message, he's not very practice with technology but there's also any protection option that alerts you're going to delete everything which is more important than a single message!

It happens two times to me. Just woke up and everything is gone! it is unacceptable! Every person saves important things in the Saved Massage section and there will be a way to recover or protect these massages.

10 years of my Saved Messages gone over a night. How about that?

Telegram updated its ver on my desktop and once that was completed, my ENTIRE saved messages chat went blank.
You are absolutely right, especially with less tech savvy people, it’s too easy deleting the chat for both sides, both my parents did it two times already and every message has been lost forever.
