Uncommon word for password. Would be unrecognizable in comparison to "nenosiri" which literary means "secret word" is made up of two words: neno meaning word and siri meaning secret.

EncryptedDescription3
Kujihari is more common only in a minority of Swahili speakers, not the majority. Kujiharibu or kujimaliza are better. Kujiharibu implies physical harm, which is out of context

ShareYouLocationInfo
Theres an error in the suggested translation. Eneo, generally means a town. I switched it with "Mahali" which means location.
"Hii" means this, "itatuma" means will send, "Mahali" means location, "ulipo" means you're at, "sasa" means current and "kwenye boti" means to the bot.

Gawa anwani
ShareContact
Better explains the intention and purpose. "gawa" is to give/share something you have and "anwani" is address which in this case is the saved contact name, number and profile picture.
"shiriki mwasiliani" is way too long and isn't widely used.

Thibitisha nambari
YourCode
I stand by this translation because the verification that is required is based on the registered Telegram user's number. Thus "thibitisha" which means confirm and/or verify and "nambari" is better suited for this. Its not the phone that is under verification as alluded earlier.

"Namba'' is an alternate form of Nambari and its shorter so it should be more preferred.Fewer syllables

LocationNotifiationButton
In Swahili notify is "Arifu" , while me is "mimi". This sentence is meant to notify the user within a specified time translated in Swahili " kwa muda".
Combining all the above words into a sentence that would make sense in Swahili is therefore; "Niarifu kwa muda % 1$s

Telegram yahitaji ruhusa kutumia mikrofoni na kamera ili kuweza kufanya simu ya video.
VoipNeedMicCameraPermission
Many scientific and technical words did not originally exist in the Swahili language. By the 1990s, 8,000 new Swahili technical words were introduced, but ill-spread throughout the swahili speaking region. Such items as "micropohone" aren't commonly used by most swahili speakers by their correct translations- "Kipaza sauti" in this case, but a swahilized version of the original word is preffered. (Mikrofoni)
It"s also within Swahili"s rules to "borrow" words from other languages and 'swahilize' them without necessarily translating them. e.g. Telegram -Telegramu
