Even if you can't get to the email address that's linked to your Telegram account, you can still get back in by using the phone number that you joined with.
Your phone number is the main way that Telegram verifies who you are, so to log in, give your phone number and get a code by text message or phone call.
If you have two-step verification turned on but can't get to your email to get the recovery code, you may not have many choices. You can try getting in touch with your email service provider to get back into your account.
Instead, you can change your email address right in the Telegram app by going to Settings > Privacy and Security > Two-Step Verification on your old computer if it is still logged in.
You can email Telegram Support at [email protected] or visit their support page at https://telegram.org/support for more help.
Make sure your phone number has the country code and that you explain the problem in a clear and concise way.
