Use the platform guides for Telegram on Android and Telegram on iPhone and iPad. The answers below cover common setup and account questions; app menus may change between versions.
Which Telegram app should I use on Android?
Telegram lists Android as a mobile app. Review the destination configured on this site’s Android page, then check the publisher and requested permissions before installing. Telegram’s apps directory lists its current Android routes.
How do I install Telegram on iPhone or iPad?
Use the iPhone and iPad guide to review the destination configured for this site. After installation, open Telegram, enter your phone number and complete the in-app sign-in flow. Availability can vary by region and device.
Why did my Telegram login code not arrive?
Confirm the phone number and country code. Telegram may deliver a login code to an already signed-in Telegram session instead of SMS. Check your other active devices and follow the current in-app instructions. Never share a login code with another person.
How can I review active mobile sessions?
Open Telegram settings and select Devices or Active Sessions. Review the listed devices and terminate sessions you do not recognize. See the mobile privacy guide for related account checks; menu wording may vary by version.
How do I reduce mobile data used by media?
Review Automatic Media Download in Telegram settings. Adjust behavior separately for mobile data, Wi-Fi and roaming, and choose which media types download automatically.
How do I control Telegram notifications on a phone?
Check both Telegram’s notification settings for the relevant chat and your phone’s system notification permissions. A muted chat, Focus mode or operating-system setting can affect which alerts appear.
Are ordinary Telegram chats end-to-end encrypted?
Telegram distinguishes cloud chats from Secret Chats. Secret Chats use end-to-end encryption and are device-specific; ordinary cloud chats sync across signed-in devices. Choose the chat type based on the privacy behavior you need.
Can I use the same Telegram account on phone and computer?
Yes. Telegram supports multiple signed-in devices. Review active sessions periodically, especially after using a shared computer, and terminate sessions you no longer need.
Where is the mobile download button?
A download action appears on a platform page only when the site editor has configured a destination. If no destination is set, the page explains that it is pending and does not provide a fake link.
