Ghost Profile Picture: Deleted Account on Telegram

A profile picture is the image that represents a social media account in all its interactions across a platform which creates the first impression that lasts.

Sill new users wonder something happened on Telegram when they see ghost avatar.

But some users doubted, "Whether the user blocked me?"

Nope!

It happened to me also and I've chatted with some unknown users who contact me from Telegram public groups which I joined into. After few days I just scroll down my chats tab, I saw ghost avatar with profile name as "Deleted Account".

I clicked on such deleted account to see the profile, I was astonished that I had chatted with them a few days before. Afterwards, I learned something that from Telegram about deleted account users before sharing them here. It doesn’t matter how it is, but you need to know what it is.

Forward important files to 'Saved Messages'

When someone has deleted their Telegram account, you can't send any more messages to the Deleted Account. Because the input box is missing instead there is box with delete this chat. Once you tap "Delete this chat", a pop up will appear asking you "Are you sure you want to delete the chat with Deleted Account".

Ticking off this box will ensure the message is deleted. Then all the files and history of messages from Deleted Account will be cleared permanently unless forwarded to your 'Saved Messages'.
