By threats of physical harm, which has already been done by bandits and dishonest police officers
> Also, if there is no app on the phone, how could, say, police know that that person used Telegram for their communications?
Via Telegram's access restore procedure or with the logs of a mobile operator.
What would logs of a mobile operator do higher forces any good when you use Telegram? The only SMS I have from them is at the first sign in procedure years ago, I highly doubt that my provider logged SMS since then.
Granted, the provider could look at IP endpoints your phone has contacted, but that can be easily resolved through a VPN connection.
At the same time, however, I wonder if it would help a person being confronted by the police or court whatsoever if they're using illegal tactics anyways, like forcing you to unlock your phone and show them your content, once they know you use Telegram anyways. Like, if they're going to arrest you with illegal methods for being on a demonstration or riot or whatever because the government is unhappy with what you're fighting for and they find out you use Telegram either by asking the provider for data (which is usually already illegal) or by looking for the app on your phone but with only a selection of chats, would those kind of people really evaluate whether or not the chats you have are fine and let you go or just arrest and convict you regardless of who you're in contact with?
The police beat the protesters and force them to enter the password from Telegram. This is what bandits, "police" and others do.
> The only SMS I have from them is at the first sign in procedure years
ago, I highly doubt that my provider logged SMS since then.
Mobile operators are forced to store and provide information about clients for several years, including content of a SMS. Read more about SORM (in Russia) and PRISM (in USA).

We are also talking about mass situations, and not just specific and isolated ones. In the case of individuals, yes, they can find another reason to make a person feel bad. In the case of mass, these people will not be able to understand whether there is a double bottom inside or not. This is better than if a person will be forced to enter to the Telegram and attackers will see chats with protests or something else.
It's basically you have ability to add a boogey PIN code, which you can set from any of these options. Maybe you can set from 1 to 3 boogey PINs:
• Your main PIN - opens all your DEFAULT chats and conversations
• Boogey PIN that filters and shows only certain conversations - opens Telegram but only shows certain chats
• Boogey PIN for Fake conversations - opens Telegram, but Telegram few auto-generates fake realistic conversations on your Chats list? Idk.
• Boogey PIN for Empty Conversations - Shows only empty Telegram app? With no conversations at all. All of your conversations are hidden
• Self Destruct Boogey PIN - Once you type it, maybe Telegram will only show an Empty Conversations, after remote deletion of all of your Telegram account?
