How to permanently disable Telegram
You have thought about it carefully and you have determined that the best thing for you is to deactivate Telegram permanently, that is to account cancellation? I'll explain immediately how to do it. However, keep in mind that, by doing so, not only will you no longer appear in the service systems, but also that all messages sent and received up to this moment, the groups you belong to, the bots used and the channels followed will no longer be associated with the your phone number and / or your username.
In any case, if this is your choice, do this: connect to the Web page specifically dedicated to this operation and type the your phone number (the one with which you registered for the service) complete with local international prefix (Eg. prefix 1234567890) in the appropriate item located in the center of the screen, then click on the button Next.
In the new page that is shown to you at this point, type the code that was sent to you on Telegram by the service team in the empty field below the wording Confirmation Code and click sul pulsating Sign In. Finally, fill in the empty field under the heading Why are you leaving?, indicating the reasons on the basis of which you have chosen to delete your Telegram account, and click on the button Done.
Should you have second thoughts, you can always and in any case subscribe again to Telegram, even using the same phone number and the same name (if available, of course). However, in the eyes of other users and Telegram itself, you will be a new user. To be clear, for example, by starting a new chat with a user you used to chat with before the cancellation, a new conversation will be opened and there will be no trace of the previous one.
Then keep in mind that as well as as I have just indicated, the definitive cancellation of the account also takes place in automatic way, following a prolonged period of inactivity of the same. To be precise, automatic deletion occurs later by default 6 months, but the option is editable from the service settings.
For more information, both regarding immediate cancellation and cancellation after a period of inactivity, I refer you to reading my guide specifically dedicated to how to delete a Telegram account. I anticipate that you will also find indicated solutions that you can evaluate as an alternative to the definitive abandonment of the use of Telegram and that, in my opinion, you would do well to consider.
