Re: [telegram] New phone number

 

Hi Marco,

Thank you for filing the bug. I agree with Nathan, if you're logged in on
any client you still have access, you should receive a message from
Telegram with a one time code when you attempt to log in elsewhere (before
you receive an SMS).

Current app version does not support phone number transfer. It's not added
yet in the new one (changing username is for instance, but that's
irrelevant).

If your phone was stolen, and you manage to sign in to your account, make
sure to "Terminate all other sessions", which will effectively sign you out
of Telegram on other clients when they establish connection (say, the
stolen phone on WiFi).

HTH,
karni
