You can use the web version of Telegram or the Telegram app on your mobile device to remove your Telegram account, if that’s your decision. We’ll walk you through the process of permanently deleting your Telegram account in this article.
Prior to Deleting Your Account
Prior to cancelling your Telegram account, take into mind the following:
Your account can only be deleted permanently and irrevocably.
Your contacts, messages, and other account-related data will all be removed.
All of the Telegram groups and channels you have joined will no longer be available to you.
Prior to canceling your account, be sure to cancel any Telegram Premium subscriptions you may have.
Taking Your Mobile Telegram Account Down
Use the mobile app to remove your Telegram account by following these steps:
First, launch the Telegram app.
To open the Telegram app on your smartphone, find it and tap on it.
Step 2: Go to Preferences
To access the menu in the Telegram app, tap the three horizontal lines (also known as the hamburger menu) in the upper-left corner. To view your account settings, tap “Settings” after that.
Step 3: Select Security and Privacy.
To access the privacy and security choices, navigate to the “Privacy and Security” menu and tap on it.
Select “Delete My Account” in step four.
Select “Delete My Account” after swiping to the bottom of the Privacy and Security screen.
Step 5: Indicate the Reason for Deletion
You will be prompted to choose the reason for canceling your account on the screen that appears after you delete it. If your reason is not provided, select “Other” or pick the relevant reason from the list.
Step 6: Verify Account Erasure
Once the deletion reason has been entered, hit “Delete My Account” at the bottom of the screen. You’ll be prompted to confirm the action using a confirmation dialog box. Click “Delete” to start the account deletion process.
Taking Down Your Web Telegram Account
If you would rather use the online version to remove your Telegram account, do the following steps:
Step 1: Go to the Deactivation Page on Telegram.
Navigate to https://my.telegram.org/deactivate to access the Telegram deactivation page using an open web browser.
Step 2: Open your Telegram account and log in.
Enter your phone number and the verification code that was issued to your Telegram app to access your Telegram account on the deactivation screen.
Step 3: Verify Account Erasure
You will notice a warning about account deactivation as soon as you log in. After carefully reading the message, click “Delete My Account” if you decide to remove your account.
In summary
Either the online version or the mobile app can be used to easily delete your Telegram account. But keep in mind that deleting an account is irreversible and permanent, so before you do anything, be sure you’ve thought through all the possible outcomes.
You can use Telegram’s support resources or get in touch with them for help if you have any more queries or run into any problems while trying to delete your account.
