Messenger account deleted: what happens now?

Once you have deleted your Telegram account, there is no going back.

• All messages, images, videos and other information are removed from the servers. Groups in which there are still active members still exist.
• If you would like to create a new account with Telegram, this is usually not a problem. However, it can happen that you have to wait a few minutes to hours before a new registration with the same mobile number is possible again.
• Tip: If you want to use Telegram on your new cell phone, it is not necessary to delete the account. You can even take your chats with you on the new phone.
