How to delete an account on Telegram
A user may want to delete their Telegram account if they are concerned about their security. When installing Telegram, the application requests access to the contact list on your smartphone.

Xu Techs explains what ways there are to delete a Telegram account and how not to lose important data.

If you delete your account, you will lose all data and content associated with it, including emails, files, calendars, and photos. It will also be impossible to use those Google services that require authorization (Gmail, Drive, Calendar or Google Play). Finally, the user will lose access to subscriptions and content purchased through this account on YouTube and Google Play.

When you delete your TikTok account, it will simply be hidden from other users for the first 30 days. During this period, you can still cancel your choice and restore it.

After deleting the account, as the service promises, information about the user will be stored only in anonymized form.
