Telegram will close accounts for inactivity starting in May
The most secure messaging application of the moment has a deadline for non-regular users. And it is that Telegram does not want to fatten its user lists or wasting space with unused accountsThat is why it will begin to delete accounts due to inactivity starting next month of MayA good excuse to use this private tool to communicate again if you don't want to lose all your data and have to create a new account from scratch.
This is what the Telegram itself makes known through its Privacy Policies , of which the medium ComputerHoy has echoed. The application Telegram is a completely free service, which is why they especially value the space of storage they have on the servers in their system. Space that is not always taken advantage of since, despite its virtues, this application continues to be an alternative or a second course for users of WhatsApp, who prefer the latter for their daily communications. And it is that Telegram is more usedonly the times in which WhatsApp fails or has some problem.
For this reason, Telegram already has a good number of inactive users on its system. Something that emerges from this deletion measure that they have titled Self-destruction of accounts Their philosophy is very simple and coherent:If an account is not used for a period of six months, It is automatically deleted to make room for those users who do use Telegram to send files, messages, or any content.
The key lies in the fact that this measure began to be implemented last November 19, 2014 That is why,six months later, the first inactive accounts will begin to be deleted as of next May 19, 2015 And so on continuously to keep the clean and updated system with the largest available space for the rest of the users who are active, at least for those who have visited your profile occasionally in the last six months.
This self-destruction entails the deletion of the account from Settings, but also of messages, chats , photographs and content sent through the service In addition, any data and traces of the user and their stored contacts will also pass to a better life once the wipe is applied. Something like if the user had never existed in the Telegram system Something useful for those who want to leave the past behind, but not so much for users who take advantage ofTelegram in the low moments of WhatsApp, being able to find the unpleasant surprise of having to create a new account if they have lately forgotten to use the one they already had. It should not be forgotten that, from the Settings menu, the user can set a custom time of inactivity after which his account can be deleted.
The system for deleting inactive accounts is quite common in social networks and services. At the moment Telegram has 70 million active users, although it seems that their Growth is complicated with so many alternatives available in the messaging application market. And you, Since when have you not used your Telegram account?
