When you create a Telegram account, all the contacts on your phone will be synced with the app. These synced contacts are accessible on any device running your Telegram account as it is a cloud-based service. However, when you log in to Telegram through a secondary device, the contacts on it may also sync, making your Telegram contact book cluttered. If you get tired of this, just turn off sync and delete Telegram contacts.
Fortunately, deleting contacts on Telegram requires just a few steps, and no matter what device you use, the steps are the same. However, it is easier to delete Telegram contacts on mobile phones than on desktop computers. So no fuss, check out the steps.
