Telegram Login Issues- Quick Solutions to Fix Them

Just like a regular messaging app, Telegram has its own set of issues that can surprise you from time to time if you are a loyal user of this communication service. Here are some quick tips to deal with all sorts of login issues that you might face with Telegram:

  1. Firstly, ensure that you are connected to the internet on your desktop device or mobile phone, whatever you are using for login purposes.
  2. Now, if you have made multiple login attempts and you didn’t get success due to entering an incorrect code, you will have to wait for at least 24 hours before you can log in again.
  3. Also, if you have recently deleted your Telegram account and are trying to log in to recover it, you might not get success, as a Telegram account once deleted is gone forever. You can only create a new Telegram account, that too after a few days.
  4. You might not be able to log in to Telegram if your phone number was banned, and if you think that this was a mistake, you can report it to Telegram’s Twitter.
