Telegram Active Sessions: See Every Device Logged Into Your Account

Telegram's Devices screen (Settings > Devices) lists every place your account is currently signed in — the app and device model, an approximate city and IP address, and when each was last active. This is the calm, do-it-now walkthrough for that one screen: read each entry, tell your own sessions apart from a stranger's, end an unknown login in a single tap, and set inactive sessions to terminate on their own. It covers your own account only — the feature exists precisely because you are already signed in and tapping the buttons yourself.

Review your sessions nowWarned of a new login?
Owner-only
Every action runs on your own signed-in account, never someone else's
Official channels
Only Telegram's Devices screen, @SpamBot for limits and [email protected] for appeals
We never ask for your code
Anyone requesting your Telegram login code is phishing you — never send it
Nothing to install
No app, extension or 'session remover' — just Telegram's built-in menu
No account access
You tap every button yourself; we never touch your account

Menu labels shift slightly between app versions — confirm each path in your own Telegram before acting.

Device & app
A client or model you never used — 'Telegram Web', an unfamiliar Android phone, a second desktop install
Approximate location
A city or country you've never logged in from — Telegram derives this from the session IP, so it points near you, not exact
IP address
An IP outside your usual home network or mobile carrier range
Last active
'online' or a timestamp from a moment you weren't using Telegram at all
Session count
More live sessions listed than the number of devices you actually own
Per-session permissions
'Accept secret chats' or 'Accept calls' left ON for a session you don't recognize

This is the Devices screen of your own, signed-in account. There is no way to view another person's active sessions, and we don't offer one.

What the Devices screen lets you do

Read every entry
Device, location, IP and last-active for each login, at a glance
Spot the intruder
Tell a legitimate session apart from an unknown sign-in
One-tap terminate
End a single unknown session or all others at once
Auto-terminate
Retire inactive sessions after 1 week up to 6 months
Current-device marker
See which entry is 'this device' so you never lock yourself out
Per-session limits
Turn off secret chats and calls for the sessions you keep

Every tile happens inside Telegram's own Devices menu on your signed-in account — no add-on, and no way to reach anyone else's sessions.

Review and end sessions in six steps

1
Open Devices
Settings > Devices (older apps: Settings > Privacy and Security > Active Sessions; Desktop: Privacy and Security > Show All Sessions)
2
Read the list
Check device, city, IP and last-active on every entry against what you actually own and did
3
Open the stranger
Tap any session you can't account for to see its full IP and detail
4
Terminate it
Tap 'Terminate Session', or 'Terminate All Other Sessions' to clear everything but this device
5
Set auto-terminate
Under 'Automatically terminate old sessions', choose 1 week, 1 month, 3 months or 6 months
6
Lock the door
Settings > Privacy and Security > Two-Step Verification so a stolen login code alone can't re-add a device

You must be signed in on at least one device. This reviews only your own account — never anyone else's.

FAQ

Where do I find active sessions in Telegram?
Open Settings > Devices. On older mobile builds it appears as Settings > Privacy and Security > Active Sessions, and on Desktop as Settings > Privacy and Security > Show All Sessions. Your current device sits at the top, with every other signed-in session listed below it.
What do the device, location and IP in each session actually tell me?
Each entry shows the Telegram client and device model, the app version, an approximate city, the session's IP address, and when it was last active. The location is derived from the IP, so it points to a nearby area rather than an exact address — a neighbouring city on your own connection is normal, a different country is not.
How do I tell a legitimate session from an intruder?
Match every entry to something you own and were doing. A device you've never used, a city or IP far from where you actually are, or an 'online' status at a time you weren't on Telegram are the red flags. If a single entry fails all three checks, treat it as unknown and terminate it.
Can I view or end the active sessions on someone else's Telegram account?
No. This page is about reviewing and ending sessions on YOUR account only. Explicit refusal: there is no way — and we offer none — to view or terminate sessions on an account you don't own, or to plant/keep a session on someone else's device; remote session-viewing of another person is surveillance, which we refuse. Everything here works only because you are already signed in to your own account and tap the buttons yourself.
I terminated the unknown session — can it come back?
Terminating ends that session immediately, but termination alone won't stop a re-login if the other party can still obtain your one-time login code. Telegram sends that code to an existing in-app session first, then by SMS, then by call — so turn on Two-Step Verification (Settings > Privacy and Security > Two-Step Verification) to add a cloud password on top of the code, and never share the code with anyone. If your number or 2-Step password has already been changed and you're locked out, a session review won't help — that's the account-recovery path (including Telegram's last-resort account reset, which after a 7-day wait deletes the account and all its cloud chats before you can re-register the number). See the account-hacked page.
What does 'Automatically terminate old sessions' do?
It ends any session that has been inactive for the period you choose — options run from 1 week to 6 months, with 6 months as the default. It's a safety net for devices you forgot to sign out of, not a substitute for terminating a session you already know is an intruder. Set it once under Settings > Devices.

Do the two-minute session check

Open Settings > Devices, read each entry against what you actually own, end anything you don't recognize, and set inactive sessions to auto-terminate. It's the calmest, most useful thing you can do for your account's security — done entirely inside official Telegram, on your own account, with no tool to install and no code to share with anyone.
