# How to manage multiple Telegram accounts > Add up to three numbers to one Telegram app, put more on Telegram Web in separate browser profiles, and give each account a phone you keep. Source: https://mosaicbrowser.com/guides/manage-multiple-telegram-accounts ## How to manage multiple Telegram accounts To manage multiple Telegram accounts, add each number to the Telegram app under Settings and switch between up to three without logging out. Past three, or when accounts belong to different clients, sign each one in to Telegram Web in its own browser profile so the sessions never mix. ![Several Telegram accounts, one window each, beside a screenshot: six Mosaic profile windows arranged in a grid, each with its own name in the title bar](https://mosaicbrowser.com/covers/manage-multiple-telegram-accounts.webp) Most people managing multiple Telegram accounts need nothing beyond the Telegram app. It holds three numbers, switches between them without logging out and keeps notifications coming from all three. The work starts at the fourth account, or when the accounts belong to different people: a support desk with one account per region, or an agency holding a client's account beside its own. Telegram's terms allow several accounts per person, one per phone number ([Telegram FAQ](https://telegram.org/faq), read 2 November 2026). The [Terms of Service](https://telegram.org/tos/eu) (read 2 November 2026) open by asking you not to "send spam or scam users". Mosaic keeps accounts you are entitled to run apart; it does not change what a platform allows. Whether a second account is allowed at all, number by number, is in [can you have multiple Telegram accounts](https://mosaicbrowser.com/guides/can-you-have-multiple-telegram-accounts). ## Option 1: up to three accounts in the Telegram app Telegram's [February 2019 announcement](https://telegram.org/blog/autoplay) describes the feature: "You can add all these accounts to your app and easily switch between up to 3 phone numbers without logging out." 1. Open Settings in the Telegram app. 2. Choose Add Account and sign in with the second number. 3. Switch from the account list at the top of the side menu or Settings. Each notification says which account it came to. On a phone this is the whole answer for a personal and a work number. On a computer it has one weakness: you see one account at a time, and a reply typed into the wrong account is the mistake people actually make. ## Option 2: the app and the browser side by side Telegram has several official clients, listed on its [applications page](https://telegram.org/apps): the desktop apps and two web apps, WebK and WebA, at web.telegram.org. Each signs in on its own. Leave one account in the desktop app and open another in a browser, and both sit on screen at once. A web session lives in the browser's storage for telegram.org, like any site's login. That is the part that makes the next option work.

Make one profile per account, sign in once in each, and keep the windows apart by name. There is no ceiling of three, and closing one profile does not sign anything else out. Signing in on the web needs the account's other sessions. Telegram's [developer documentation](https://core.telegram.org/api/auth) (read 2 November 2026) says only the official mobile apps can rely on SMS codes in some conditions, while other apps sign in with a code sent as a message to the account's other logged-in sessions, a QR code, an email code or a passkey. So each account should stay signed in on a phone you hold. A web session alone, on a number you no longer have, is one log-out away from being lost. Chrome profiles share the computer under them: one screen, one font list, one graphics card and one home address for every account. For your own accounts that is fine. For client accounts, the trade-offs between Chrome profiles, separate browsers and virtual machines are in [managing multiple accounts on one computer](https://mosaicbrowser.com/guides/manage-multiple-accounts-on-one-computer). ## Option 4: one account, several people A team often asks for more accounts when it needs more people in one place. Telegram has tools for that which keep logins personal. Add colleagues to a channel or group as admins with their own accounts. Turn on Direct Messages for a channel, which the FAQ says lets subscribers "send them private messages — without the channel owner having to share their personal account." Nobody passes a login code around, and nobody loses access when one person leaves. ## Keep every account reachable Three habits stop an account from being lost rather than banned. - Put each account on a mobile number you own and will keep. The FAQ says "whoever has the number, has the account." - Turn on Two-Step Verification in Settings › Privacy and Security, with a recovery email, so the number alone is not enough to sign in. - Open each account at least once a year. An account that does not come online for 18 months is deleted by default. ## How to manage multiple Telegram accounts in Mosaic Mosaic is Option 3 with more kept apart. Each profile is a full browser on Tesseract Chrome, our own Chromium, with its own storage, a fingerprint drawn from real hardware and, if you want one, its own proxy. Its timezone and language follow that proxy's exit ([exit matching](https://mosaicbrowser.com/features/exit-matching)). 1. Click New project for each client or desk, so its accounts sit together. 2. Click New profile once per Telegram account, and name it after the account and the person who answers from it. 3. If the account should appear from the client's country, give the profile a proxy. Paste a proxy seller's gateway line once in Proxies as a provider, and each profile mints its own session, so no two accounts share an exit ([proxy providers](https://mosaicbrowser.com/features/proxy-providers)). 4. Start the profile, open web.telegram.org and sign in with the code Telegram sends to that account's phone. 5. Select the profiles you use together, start them, and choose Arrange › Grid. Each window shows its profile's name beside the address bar. ![Six Mosaic profile windows arranged in a grid, each with its own name beside the address bar](https://mosaicbrowser.com/shots/windows-arranged.png) *Each Telegram account in its own named window* In the profile editor, the Logins tab holds that account's Two-Step Verification password, and Fill types it into the page with real keystrokes when Telegram asks for it. The companion inside the profile's browser keeps notes for that profile only: which number the account is on, who holds the phone, what the last customer asked. ![The Mosaic companion inside a profile browser: notes, saved logins and two-factor codes for that profile](https://mosaicbrowser.com/shots/companion.png) *That account's notes and logins, inside its own browser* Mosaic works with Telegram Web only.

Add the second number in the app's Settings, then switch from the side menu or the account list in Settings. Telegram keeps you signed in to all of them and sends notifications for each, labelled with the account they belong to. ### Can I use Telegram Web with more than one account? Yes, one account per browser profile. Telegram Web keeps its session in the browser's storage, so a second profile with its own storage can hold a second account at the same time. ### Do I need a phone to sign in to Telegram Web? In practice, yes. Telegram's developer docs say non-mobile apps sign in with a code sent to the account's other sessions, a QR code, an email code or a passkey, so keep each account signed in on a phone you hold. ### How do several people answer from one Telegram account? Usually they should not. For a channel or group, add each person as an admin with their own account. Channels can also turn on Direct Messages, so subscribers reach the channel without anyone sharing a personal account. ## Related [Can you have multiple Telegram accounts?](https://mosaicbrowser.com/guides/can-you-have-multiple-telegram-accounts): Yes.
