Deleting Your Telegram Account

Deleting your Telegram account is a permanent action. All your messages, groups, and contacts will be deleted and cannot be recovered. There are two primary ways to delete your account: through the Telegram Deactivation Page or via in-app settings.

Deleting Through the Deactivation Page

  1. Access the Deactivation Page: Go to the Telegram Deactivation Page in a web browser.
  2. Enter Your Phone Number: Enter the phone number you used to register for Telegram, including the country code.
  3. Receive Confirmation Code: Telegram will send a confirmation code to your Telegram app (not SMS).
  4. Enter the Code: Enter the code on the deactivation page.
  5. Delete Your Account: You will be asked to provide a reason for leaving (optional), then click the "Delete My Account" button.
  6. Confirm Deletion: Confirm your decision to delete your account.

Deleting Through In-App Settings (If Available - Varies by App Version)

  • Android:

    1. Open Telegram.
    2. Tap the menu (three horizontal lines).
    3. Go to Settings > Privacy and Security.
    4. Scroll down to "Delete my account if away for..."
    5. Set a period (e.g., 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year). If you don't log in within that period, your account will be automatically deleted. (Note: This isn't immediate deletion.) To trigger immediate deletion, see above "Deleting Through the Deactivation Page".
  • iOS (iPhone/iPad):

    1. Open Telegram.
    2. Go to Settings > Privacy.
    3. Scroll down to "If Away For".
    4. Set a period (e.g., 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year). If you don't log in within that period, your account will be automatically deleted. (Note: This isn't immediate deletion.) To trigger immediate deletion, see above "Deleting Through the Deactivation Page".

Important Considerations:

  • Permanent Action: Deletion is irreversible. There's no way to recover your account or data once it's deleted.
  • Data Removal: All your messages, contacts, and groups will be deleted from Telegram's servers.
  • Username Availability: Your username may become available for others to use.
  • Third-Party Apps: Be sure to revoke any access you've granted to Telegram through third-party apps before deleting your account to prevent unexpected behavior. Check Third-Party Applications for information.
  • Telegram Bots: Your interactions with Telegram bots will also be erased. Review your Telegram Bots for more details.
  • Verification: Ensure you have access to the phone number linked to your account, as you'll need it for the verification code.
