in this video I'm going to show you how
0:02
you can delete your Telegram account now
0:04
there are two methods that you can use
0:06
one is the manual method and the other
0:08
one is the selfdestructive method where
0:11
you can set your Telegram account to be
0:13
deleted after being inactive for a
0:15
specific period of time so let me show
0:17
you the first method where you can
0:19
permanently delete your account manually
0:22
my name is Isaac and this is a Minute
0:24
with AI if you find this video helpful
0:27
I'll kindly request that you hit the
0:28
like button and subscribe to this
0:30
channel to support me it really helps me
0:33
so the first thing you need to do is to
0:34
go to your profile and as you can see
0:36
this is my profile i have two profiles
0:39
and I like to delete one of them so if
0:42
you only have one it's still okay so go
0:44
to your profile and then go to settings
0:48
and from here scroll down until you get
0:50
to Telegram frequently asked questions
0:52
or Telegram FAQ this option so tap on it
0:57
to open and then scroll down until you
1:00
see a headline called your account so
1:02
I'll look for here it is now under your
1:05
account we have an option called delete
1:08
your telegram account and here it is so
1:13
this and then it will take you to this
1:16
page called how do I delete my account
1:19
and we have an option here to deactivate
1:22
the page we are told here that if you
1:23
like to delete your account you can do
1:26
this on deactivate page so we shall
1:28
proceed by typing on deactivate
1:33
page and this will bring us to this page
1:35
to delete your account you have to go
1:37
ahead and enter your phone number so
1:39
I'll go ahead and enter mine and this is
1:41
the number that you use to create your
1:47
account so I've entered mine and then
1:49
tap on next then we should receive a
1:52
code that we shall enter here and in
1:54
some cases you'll find that the Telegram
1:56
deletion code will be sent to your
1:58
Telegram account so on that page
2:00
sometimes it is good to do it externally
2:03
you can open this page in a new tab so
2:05
that when you get the code you can
2:07
easily enter in so once you receive your
2:09
code just enter it here then tap on sign
2:12
in and then confirm by clicking on the
2:15
delete button and then from here you'll
2:17
have permanently deleted your account so
2:20
that is the first method now in the
2:21
second method you can set your telegram
2:23
account to auto delete itself whenever
2:26
it is inactive for a specific period of
2:28
time so to set this just go to menu icon
2:31
here and then open to expose your
2:33
profile then from here tap on settings
2:36
and then scroll down until you get to
2:41
security now from here scroll down until
2:43
you get an option called delete my
2:46
account and you can see it is here by
2:49
default it is set to autodee if it is an
2:51
active or if I'm away for 18 months so
2:54
you can tap on this to change this to
2:57
any specific period of time so if you
2:59
want this account to delete after 3
3:02
months of being inactive then go ahead
3:04
and tap on 3 months and then this will
3:06
go ahead and change to 3 months so this
3:09
means that if you do not come online at
3:12
least once within this period your
3:15
account will be deleted along with the
3:17
messages and contacts so that is what
3:19
you have to keep in mind so by using any
3:22
of the two methods you should be able to
3:24
delete your telegram account with ease
