In the modern world, a popular way to communicate is to send messages using special messengers. One of these is the Telegramm application, the profile of which is tied to a phone number. However, there are cases when the number changes, because of which it is necessary to delete the account along with the correspondence in Telegram or transfer it to another phone.
How to delete a Telegramm account?
The reason for the desire to complete communication through the messenger can be any. And regardless of it, in Telegram, deleting an account is very simple - you do not even need to have the application installed. It is enough to have Internet access and a phone with the SIM card to which the profile is registered. Having come to the official Telegramm website, you need to go to the FAQ section, where the link to the deactivation page is located.
After entering the phone number, click "Next" and wait for the arrival of SMS messages with a confirmation code, which should be entered in the field that appears on the screen. After this operation is completed, all logs of the profile in the "Telegram" will be cleared. You can delete an account using the automatic cleaning function. To do this, go to the application’s security settings, where in the column "Account deactivation" you need to determine the time after which, in the absence of activity in the profile, the account will be deleted.
How to change phone number?
Sometimes, due to a change in the phone number, users try to copy all contacts and messages to a specialized repository, and then transfer them to another profile, not knowing how to change the account. In "Telegram" for such cases there is a special function that allows you to change the number in a few clicks.
To do this, go to the "Settings" section, where click on the account phone number. In the window that opens, you will be prompted to change the number with the automatic transfer of all chats and contacts. After confirming the intentions, the user will be prompted to enter a new phone number, after which it remains only to indicate the verification code in the field that appears.
How to recover an account?
If you lose your password to access your page, some users cannot find a way to restore your account in Telegram. And to do this is quite simple - it is enough to have at hand a device with Internet access, as well as a telephone number by which registration was made. When you go to the web access site or open the application, you must enter the phone number to which the authorization code will come. With it, you can restore access to your profile.
If the account was taken over by an outsider, then you can regain sole control over the profile, ensuring the confidentiality of personal contacts and correspondence, without removing the profile. Having gone into the settings, you need to go to the tab "Active Sessions", in which select "End all other sessions." After that, deauthorization will be performed on all other devices, except for the one used. It is worth noting that if you delete the account in Telegram, then it will be impossible to return correspondence and added contacts.
