This is an extension of the feature suggestion Alternate profile pictures #406
Allowing users to have granular control of how they present themselves
to different groups of contacts and chats, in such a way that you can
choose a profile picture and display name that will be seen only by a
specific group, multiple groups, contact, multiple contacts. apart from
your default standard profile.
This feature would be a great help at separating how you present
yourself across different users, be it friends, family, work, and other
entities.
I don't think it would complicate anything! It would be one of those features that you just use or not. And if someone else use it, you would only notice that user has changed it's avatar or has a different avatar in private messaging.

I've been asking for exactly this feature for months! Please make it real!

This is strong privacy issue, absolutely necessary feature to securely separate social circles

This functionality is not available in other messengers (Viber, WhatsApp), it would be a competitive advantage in a corporate environment

This would be great! I don't want to create new account (and new phone number) but want to separate my bio/photo for my friends/family, work contacts, hobby teammates and others. Good addition for privacy settings!

Absolute. I'm in quite a few NSFW groups because that's one of my social circles. Which means I can't have *any* family or work as contacts on Telegram, because I don't have a way to present as 2 different profiles. I could buy a 2nd phone just for that purpose but... really? I should have to.do that?

This should absolutely be a feature.

This sounds like a great idea!

This would be very useful. I think there should be at least 2, one for everyone and one for contacts, similarly as you can choose who see your profile picture. The same should apply for your name and maybe description.
