Thinking of leaving Telegram? We understand. Whether you're concerned about privacy, need a digital detox, or simply prefer other messaging apps, deleting your Telegram account is a straightforward process. However, it's permanent – deleting your account wipes everything, including messages, contacts, and groups you've created. There's no turning back!
Ready to proceed? Telegram doesn't offer an in-app deletion option. Instead, you need to use their deactivation page through a web browser. Here's how:
1. **Visit the Telegram Deactivation Page:** Go to my.telegram.org in your web browser.
2. **Enter Your Phone Number:** Provide the phone number you used to register with Telegram, including the country code.
3. **Enter the Confirmation Code:** Telegram will send a confirmation code to your Telegram app (yes, you need access to your account one last time!). Enter this code on the deactivation page.
4. **Choose Your Reason (Optional):** You'll be asked why you're leaving. This is optional, but feedback can help Telegram improve.
5. **Confirm Deletion:** Click 'Delete My Account'. You'll be asked to confirm your decision one last time. Be absolutely sure before proceeding.
That's it! Your Telegram account is now deleted. Remember, this action is irreversible. Consider backing up any important data before deleting your account. Good bye and good luck!
