  1. There's usually no need to log out of Telegram. You can use the same Telegram account on multiple devices at once, and it's possible to have multiple accounts on one device as long as each account is connected to a different phone number. [7] Here are some important things to know about logging out of Telegram:
    • Logging out will delete all your Secret Chats, as well as all messages within those chats. If you don't want to lose them, don't log out.
    • If you share your phone or tablet with another person and you don't want them to see your Telegram account, you can create a passcode in Settings > Privacy and Security instead of logging out.
    • On a phone or tablet, you can add another account to Telegram. On Android, tap the menu icon and select Add Account . On iOS, open your Telegram Settings and go to Edit > Add Account . [8]
      • You can log in with three different Telegram accounts on one device, but each account must be connected to a different phone number. [9]
