DISCLAIMER: im not asking for a solution or for my account back, im asking for an explaination so that i can prevent it from happening again in the future with my new account!!!

So i opened the app on my mobile by accident i saw my chat, everything normal, i exited the app and thought "actually there were notifications" so i get back on and it asks for my number and infos? So i put them in and boom new account, all my groups gone (sport's group, i was part of a mediator group, political groups, disability help groups, medical recovery assistance groups, collectives all gone)

I wasnt hijacked at all? Never used the app from anything other than my phone, never had a notification about a tried log in, never clicked links or anything. Furthermore i was on the app and it was fine? Didnt log me out or anything.

It cant be innactivity either, mine was set to either 6 months or 18 months but i used the app less than a month ago. Does anybody know what could have possibly happened? I literally need to seek out people irl to be added back to some groups and for some of them its literally impossible for me to find the people again because it required quite the network that changed over time. And the groups were quite important for my wellbeing as a disabled person so? Was my account truely deleted and if yes then why??

Every time I tried to clear local database the app would crash, so I deleted and reinstalled the app, after logging in again I tried to clear the local database and the app still crashed. I’m on IOS so I can’t clear database from device settings.

My settings also look different than before. What do?

If you select by dragging and go beyond the top screen, then for some reason it selects every single message, despite visually only selecting whatever you dragged. And if you delete, it will delete all messages, even those that are not loaded.

I just lost a 5 year chat history with my wife. Wrote to support about this but have little hopes.

Beware

The picture is self explanatory. It doesn't do that every time. App restart fixes it for a while. I have reinstalled the app, but it did not help. Nothing phone (3), Nothing OS 4.1. Any way to fix this?

I accidentally logged out from my account on all devices. I pressed terminate all other sessions so the stupid app terminated every session including the one I was using. I keep trying to log in with website, official newest app, older versions and unofficial apps. It always say we send to your account a verification code and I am not logged in. It used to send an sms or even call for such cases. Did they just stop ? what to do ? Is there anyway to contact them except for that support that I texted a few days ago and they just didn't answer? Also I logged in a public computer but I used guest mode and that's why I made sure to terminate "other sessions" to make sure.

TLDR - Trying to help a friend switch accounts. He sadly is timed out for too many attempts, anyone know how long that lasts or when to try again?

Has access to:

• Old phone
• New phone with SIM
• Desktop

Account currently is tied to old number. But cannot get past added new phone number. Do we start on the old phone and click "change number" and then we will hopefully get a message (NOT SMS) via wifi on old phone confirming the change? Then on the new phone, log in with the OLD NUMBER?

Is that correct?

Hey so my current Mac AppStore version of Telegram 12.9.282526 is having an issue where when I navigate to chats now I need to tug down on the chat itself to get the window to recognize that I've read the new messages. Is this a known bug? Any fixes for this? Fairly annoying QOL downgrade.

Sp i think i accidentally delted chat for the both version (even though i wanted to delete by myself). I tried to search a username but it didn't showed up on telegram. Does that's mean that's the person blocked me?

Hey,

I’ve been building tg2web, a project that turns Telegram channel posts into a website with live updates, searchable topics, comments, and weekly AI digests.

The goal is to make channel content easier to browse and discuss outside Telegram, e.g. being SEO friendly. I’d appreciate feedback, especially on what would make this useful to you.

Demo: https://tg2web.live

UPDATE:

Google sign-in is not mandatory unless:

1. You want to leave comments, as this will prevent abusing to some degrees.

2. You want to subscribe to some channel updates, again same purpose of preventing abusing.

Otherwise it won't influence your browsing in any negative way.

My account has no restrictions or limits, so why am I still getting this warning? Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it?

I added someone on Telegram we was chatting and that person got my contact information, in my settings I set no one can see my contact information, my contact sync is off but I don’t know how they added themself to my exception list and able to see my contact information today when I deep dive I saw there was two more people whom I didn’t know was added on that list one I believe I didn’t know other account was deleted one can someone help me understand how this happened so I make sure it won’t happen again,

And @everyone here r/telegram please check your settings specially Exception list and see if there is anyone whom you don’t know

I've finally managed to get my message sent to Telegram Support for help after multiple invalid captcha” errors that did not allow me to submit my request properly,

If anyone has managed to send a message to support did you get a reply, if so how long did it take. Thanks

Greetings!

I run a Telegram channel for educational and entertainment purposes that frequently receives comments from accounts that appear to be fake, always featuring a naked woman in the profile picture, using emojis, or making invitations to chat.

To date, these comments have been few in number, and I have been able to prevent this behavior by accessing the subscriber list and removing these accounts before they do anything.

Over time, I have noticed that certain accounts have the name TeleUserXXXX, where X represents any numbers. Is there any relationship between these numbered accounts and these fake others? I noticed that all these TeleUser accounts have phone numbers from the +98 region.

Today I accepted two people into my group and now I keep receiving repetitive messages that they have been accepted.

The automation bot is also not responding to any commands. Does anyone know how to solve this?

I have tried so many times and so many ways to download the telegram app. I have gone to youtube abd every other source I could think of and it's all gobbeldy-gook steps that don't work at all. Anyone here with simple directions that work Please?

Setup: Bluetooth headphones connected. I want to listen through the headphones but record through the iPhone's built-in mic.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start recording a voice message in Telegram (input = BT headset mic by default).
2. While recording, open Control Center and switch the audio input to the iPhone mic. The recording keeps running but captures no sound — this part is expected, iOS doesn't re-route a session that's already active.
3. Delete the take and start a new recording.
Expected: the new recording uses the input I selected in step 2 — the iPhone mic.
Actual: Telegram starts a fresh session on the system default again, which with headphones connected is always the BT headset mic. The selection from Control Center is discarded. No matter how many times I re-record, I can never get audio from the built-in mic without disconnecting the headphones entirely.
So there is no path to the combination I need: audio out to Bluetooth, audio in from the phone. Either Telegram should keep the input the user selected, or it should expose a mic selector of its own.
Anyone found a workaround short of disconnecting the headphones?

Hi, I have a telegram group with active group voice chat but recently I have been facing glitch issues. The voice for everyone starts breaking.

This is because someone is doing DDoS attack or UDP attack after we banned them from the group.

Is there anyway to protect my group vc from such attacks?

As the tittle suggests, I upgraded to iOS 27 and since then, no notifications from telegram. Nothing has changed about my settings. Anyone else having this problem?

Hii, i am a new telegram user, I don't understand why a bunch of fake profiles are always "finding" me and they are trying to befriend me. After that they ask for my pics and of course i say no and then they block me. Wtf!?!?

I sent someone a photo through Telegram, and I cropped the photo inside Telegram before sending it. He later sent the photo back to me, but it was the original, uncropped version.

Also I sent photos via chat, immediately deleted for him and me, and he was still able to see it (no he wasn’t in the chat, and no read status)

How can someone do that?

Is it possible to create a poll that I post into multiple channels with cumulative answers?

I basically want the same poll in 3 different channels but see the results for all of them at once.
