Descriptions

The "delete for" feature in Telegram before 5.11 on Android does not delete shared media files from the Telegram Images directory. In other words, there is a potentially misleading UI indication that a sender can remove a recipient's copy of a previously sent image (analogous to supported functionality in which a sender can remove a recipient's copy of a previously sent message).

La funcionalidad "delete for" en Telegram versiones anteriores a 5.11 en Android no elimina los archivos multimedia compartidos desde el directorio de Imágenes de Telegram. En otras palabras, existe una indicación de la IU potencialmente engañosa de que un remitente puede eliminar la copia de un destinatario de una imagen enviada previamente (análoga a la funcionalidad compatible en la que un remitente puede suprimir la copia de un destinatario de un mensaje enviado previamente).
