How to Manage Multiple Telegram Accounts

Are you one of the many people who have multiple Telegram accounts? Maybe you have a work and a personal account, or you have a main account and a burner account. Whatever the reason, you might be wondering if it's possible to easily switch between your multiple Telegram accounts. Unfortunately, the answer is no.

While having multiple Telegram accounts can be useful, it's not easy to switch between them. You have to log out of your current account and then log back in with the other account. This can be a pain, especially if you have a lot of accounts.

There are some workarounds. You can use multiple devices, or if you're on the desktop, you can use multiple browsers, but these both come with their downsides. The best way to use multiple Telegram accounts is to use an app that supports multiple cookie profiles like Wavebox.

The Problem With Multiple Telegram Accounts

To create a Telegram account, you need to use your phone number, this means if you need separate accounts you'll need a different phone number for each. If you need a home and work account, this shouldn't be too much of a problem as you can just use your personal phone number and work phone number.

Once you have your phone numbers, setting up the accounts is very easy. Simply download the Telegram app and create an account using one of the phone numbers. Then, repeat the process with the other phone number. That's it! The only problem with this is you'll need to log out and log into each account to use it.
