What To Do if There Is Already an Account On Your New Phone Number?

If you bought a new phone number and are trying to create a new Telegram account with it, you may sometimes find that there is already an account on this number.

#FAQ

How Does The "Chat History" Setting Work?

When an administrator of a private group enables history visibility in it, the result often does not meet his expectations: old messages of the group may still be hidden from some participants.

We tell you how this setting actually works in the article https://tginfo.me/chat-history-visibility-en

How To Clear App Database?

During their work, Telegram applications download some data from the server to the device. If too much of this data accumulates on the device, or if there is a failure while saving it, the application may stop working correctly.

We tell you how to maintain your app database in out new article https://tginfo.me/clear-cache-en

Basic Groups and Supergroups

Almost every Telegram user knows that there are groups in the messenger. However, for many it remains unclear why different chats can behave differently: in some you can copy a link to a message, and in others you can’t; in some you can delete a message only for yourself or for all participants, and in some you can only delete it for everyone; and in some, all materials suddenly disappeared from the Media tab.

In our new article, we talk about converting basic groups into supergroups and the differences between these two types of group chats: https://tginfo.me/groups_vs_supergroups-en/

[Fixed] Direct Version of Telegram for Android Offered Incorrect Update

The Telegram app for Android, installed directly from telegram.org, is prompting users to install an update. Users report that after installing the update, the direct version of the app does not update, but a second instance of Telegram appears in the app menu.

Ignore this update: It appears that the Telegram team mistakenly distributed the Google Play version as an update for the direct version.

If you have already installed the update, you can delete the second Telegram app where you are not logged in. Deleting the duplicate will not remove your accounts from the direct version.

As soon as the issue is resolved, we will update this post.

UPD. 10:00 UTC
Situation has been fixed

#outages

Telegram representatives inform that a correction has been issued. The app might still suggest the incorrect update for a while from its cache, so it might take a while before you receive a correct update.

The correct version of the update won't have a white outline around the icon on the update screen popup.

You can also install the update manually from the official channel.

Spamban

Spamban is a restriction that the Telegram platform can impose on a user's account.

In the new article https://tginfo.me/spamban-en/ we talk about what types of spambans exist, what you can get them for, and how to get rid of them.
