When we stop using an application, temporarily or permanently, there are times when we are not clear about the repercussions of each of our actions. Therefore, it is possible that at some point you have considered:
What happens when you use the function log out in Telegram?
The reality is that the only thing that happens when we log out of a device is that, during the time we keep the session closed, we will not be able to use Telegram on said device. This does not imply that we cannot normally send and receive our messages on any other phone, tablet, or PC. Logging out only affects the device on which you logged out.
Furthermore, it is about:
A fully reversible process
In other words, if at any time you want to log in again on the same mobile in which you had closed it, you can do so without major complications. By doing so, all your message history and your groups will appear without major problems. Therefore, you can have Telegram logged out for a while and reopen it without problems.
How to Log Out of Telegram on Another Device
If you have Telegram open on your mobile and, for example, you want to close the session that you have started on your computer, you will have to learn how to:
Log out of Telegram on another device
It is not necessary that you go one by one logging out of all devices; you can do it remotely by following these steps:
- Go into
- Go to Settings
- Go to Privacy and security > Active sessions
- Go to the session you want to close and press the x that you will find next to it
By doing this, you will have closed the session on the device you want remotely. When you go to said device, you will find that you have to log in again. As we have mentioned before, if you want to use the tool again, it is as simple as starting your session again. But the option to log out remotely is very practical when we have accidentally left a session open.
Why Doesn’t Telegram Let Me Close Active Sessions?
If performing the steps that we have discussed above you have encountered a problem, you may be wondering:
Why doesn’t Telegram let me close active sessions?
Typically, this is because the device you’re trying to log out of hasn’t been active for 24 hours. Telegram has this security system to prevent anyone from closing your account without your consent. If you are absolutely sure that you have been active for longer, try closing the Telegram app and opening it again. And if you still can’t close sessions, it may be a temporary problem that will be fixed only by giving it some time.
What Happens if I Delete Telegram Without Logging Out
If you no longer want to use Telegram temporarily or indefinitely, the ideal is to first close the session you have open and then proceed to uninstall the application. But if you haven’t done so, you may be wondering:
What happens if I delete Telegram without logging out?
The reality is that if you uninstall the app you will not be able to use it, but your contacts will be able to continue sending you messages, which you will be able to read when you log in again. But if you delete without logging out on a mobile and later install it and log in again on another, nothing will happen. You will be able to continue using the application without problems with your message history and your groups intact.
The only thing that will be lost in this process is:
Your secret messages
Which are stored on the device, so when you delete the application they will disappear.
