Importing contacts to Telegram

When installing the application, Telegram asks for permission to access contacts. Also offers to sync contacts. If you do not need this, immediately set the slider to the left.

From contacts, contacts in the phone book, a contact list in Telegram is formed.

Conveniently, until a couple of years have passed and a couple of "cleanups" of phone numbers. Contacts in Telegram are synchronized with contacts in the phone to add numbers. After deletion in the phone book, contacts are not deleted in the contact list of the messenger. So, in the Telegram there are catastrophically a lot of extra numbers.

You need to go to the settings inside the messenger: Privacy -> Data management -> Delete imported contacts
