In Telegram, as in any communication app, you can delete the contacts that you no longer want to have added . In this app there are two ways in which you can add someone; the first is through her phone number (you add her to your mobile contacts and sync them with Telegram), and the second is by contacting her with her username.
With the first option (phone number), the most basic way to delete the Telegram contact is to delete the same number from your mobile contacts. If we talk about the second option (username), to delete the contact you will have to do a few more steps that we will explain below.
Telegram has many tricks, it even allows you to play UNO with friends, download music and much more.

How can you restore contacts on Telegram?
If you have lost any Telegram contacts that you want to recover, you will be happy to know that there is a way in which you can recover them. For this method it is necessary that you have previously imported the contacts from your mobile to Telegram , which will be saved in the app’s cloud.

What happens when you block someone on Telegram?
Just as it happens in WhatsApp, in Telegram when blocking a user you will avoid any possibility of the person you blocked contacting you through the app. Blocking a user is very different from deleting them .
The fundamental differences are that if in Telegram you have activated the option that anyone can send you messages, then even if you have deleted the contact, they will be able to send you messages. On the other hand, if you have blocked it, that person will not be able to contact you in any way through Telegram .
Have you already deleted the contact you don’t want to have in your Telegram? Do you prefer to block contacts or delete them?
