While Telegram does allow someone to create multiple accounts, each account must be tied to a separate phone number. Users can use up to three Telegram accounts on the app. If users change their phone number, they can update this on Telegram without losing all the information tied to the old one, including messages, contacts, and media. Additionally, if users are using a new number temporarily, such as while traveling internationally, they can continue using their account with their old phone number for a limited time.
