The Telegram application, where people swarmed with anger after WhatsApp published its new privacy agreement, and suddenly left and returned to WhatsApp, we can actually say that it is still a popular social media/messaging application. In the application, you can find many discussion groups under the topic you want, and you can even follow the news you want.
If you are one of those who started using Telegram with anger as in the first example we mentioned, or if you just want to delete your account, you are in the right place. In this ‘How To’ guide, we tell you how to delete your Telegram account completely. Let’s take a look at the detailed guide together.
What happens when we delete the Telegram account completely?
Before we completely remove your Telegram profile, let’s take a closer look at the consequences of doing so. When you delete your account, Telegram clearly states that you are deleting all your chats and data. Your account is permanently terminated and your messages and contacts are irretrievably destroyed.
The channels and groups you create continue to work normally, and existing administrators retain their privileges. If you are the only admin, Telegram assigns a random active member as a new admin. After deleting your account, Telegram does not allow you to create a new account with the same phone number for at least a few days.
