Step 1: Launch Telegram
Begin by launching the Telegram app on your device. You can find the app in your app drawer or home screen. Tap on the app icon to open it.
Step 2: Open the Contact List
Once Telegram is open, you will be on the main page where all your chats are listed. In the top left corner, you will find a menu icon. Tap on it to open the side menu.
Step 3: Navigate to Contacts
In the side menu, scroll down until you find the “Contacts” option. It will usually be towards the bottom of the list. Tap on “Contacts” to access your Telegram contact list.
Step 4: Find the Contact to Delete
Within the “Contacts” section, you will find a list of all the people you are currently connected with on Telegram. Scroll through the list and locate the contact you want to delete.
Step 5: Open Contact Options
When you find the desired contact, tap and hold their name or profile picture. After a brief moment, a pop-up menu will appear with various options.
Step 6: Delete the Contact
In the pop-up menu, you will see the option to “Delete Contact.” Tap on this option to initiate the deletion process.
Step 7: Confirm Deletion
Once you tap on “Delete Contact,” Telegram will ask you to confirm your action. A confirmation dialog will appear, asking if you want to delete the contact permanently. Tap on “Delete” to proceed.
Voila! You have successfully deleted the Telegram contact from your list. The contact will no longer be able to see your profile or message you on Telegram.
Note: Deleting a contact only removes them from your Telegram list, and it does not block them. If you want to block a contact, there is a separate option available within the contact options menu.
- To block a contact, follow the steps mentioned above until Step 6.
- In the contact options menu, you will find an option called “Block User.” Tap on this option to block the contact.
- Blocking a contact will prevent them from seeing your profile, messaging you, or adding you to groups. It is a stronger measure than just deleting a contact.
With these simple and efficient steps, you can manage your Telegram contacts with ease. Remember, deleting a contact is a reversible action, so if you ever change your mind, you can always add them back to your Telegram list.
