00:00to permanently deactivate, or delete your Telegram account immediately,
00:04you need to use a web browser rather than the mobile app which only lets you set an
00:08auto-destruction timer for inactivity. Here is the step-by-step guide to doing it right now.
00:14Open a web browser. Go to the official Telegram deactivation page on your phone or computer.
00:19Enter your phone number. Type your phone number in the international format,
00:22including your country code, for example, plus 1 for the US or plus 212 for Morocco,
00:27then click Next. Check your Telegram app. Telegram will send a confirmation code via the Telegram
00:32app itself, not via SMS to one of your active devices logged into that account. Enter the code,
00:37copy the confirmation code from your Telegram app, paste it into the browser website field,
00:41and click Sign In. To select Delete Account, click on the Delete Account option on the webpage.
00:47You can optionally provide a reason for leaving, though it is optional. Final confirmation. Click
00:51the red Delete My Account button. A prompt will pop up asking if you are sure to confirm it,
00:56and your account will be permanently deleted along with all your messages, groups, and contacts.
01:01Note. If you just want it to self-destruct automatically without going to the website,
01:05go to Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Delete My Account if a wafer in the mobile app,
01:08and change it to one month. If you don't open Telegram for a month, it will vanish.
01:13And that's the full picture. If this saved you a search, hit like and subscribe.
01:18One clear answer, every day. See you in the next one.
