YOGYAKARTA - Telegram is an instant messaging application that is widely used to exchange information. Various features can be used by users to make activities easier.

However, it is not uncommon for Telegram users to choose not to use the application for various reasons. One of them is that your friends prefer to use other instant messaging apps, so you can only use them on a limited basis.

Therefore, if you are not using the Telegram application anymore, it is recommended that the account you have is permanently deleted. This is to avoid unwanted things such as your account being hacked by irresponsible people.

Before deleting an account, make sure important data stored on it has been moved first. The reason is, if you have permanently deleted the account, all data is also deleted and cannot be accessed anymore.

If you have already done that but it doesn't work, users can follow the steps that have been compiled by the VOI team to permanently delete their Telegram account using a mobile phone.

How to Delete Telegram Account Permanently

To permanently delete a Telegram account using a smartphone, users can open the Telegram application that is already installed on your device and log in using your own account.

After that, go to the Settings menu or Settings. If you are using iOS, its position is in the lower right corner, meanwhile, if you are using an Android smartphone, click the three lines icon in the upper left corner.

After opening the Settings or Settings menu, users can select the Privacy and Security menu. To continue the process scroll down until you find the Automatically Delete My Account menu.

Furthermore, users can set the time for automatic account deletion by clicking the If Away For menu, to make the account automatically deleted after a set period of time.

After that, select the time range you want. Users can choose a time of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after the setting is set.

Next, set the time, your Telegram account will be deleted automatically according to the specified time. This also happens if you have uninstalled the Telegram application on your device.

For now, there is no way to delete a Telegram account directly. Therefore, scheduling a deletion time of 1 month is the fastest way to delete an Instagram account.

As explained earlier, make sure you've moved important data in your account. Users can also use a 1 month lag time to check whether there is important data in the Telegram application before your account is permanently deleted.
