In this article, we will talk about how to log in to Telegram from Google using Telegram Web and scanning a QR code. You can log in using a computer with any browser, whether it’s Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc.
But first, you should know that Telegram Web is an application that works through a web browser without needing to download any software (Single Webpage Apps). It allows users to use Telegram, chat, and make calls even without downloading any application on the computer. This ensures more privacy as conversations will not be saved on the computer. We will alert you to all the features, precautions, and what remains of your conversations after closing the web page.
Before we continue, you must know that you need to have a Telegram account activated on your phone beforehand through a phone number, and you must have the Telegram app on your Android or iPhone to complete the authentication process and open Telegram Web via the QR Code.

How to log in to Telegram from Google
- Open Google Chrome and go to Telegram Web
You can open Telegram Web through the link https://web.telegram.org/ and a page with a QR code will open. Leave the page open and go to the Telegram app on your phone.
- Open Telegram on your phone and select Settings
Open the Telegram app on your phone and press the Menu button in the upper corner. Then choose Settings .
- Select Devices
Scroll down a little in the settings menu to find Devices.
- Link Devices
A page will open with a button (Link Desktop Device). Press the button. (Options to allow the camera to work will appear; press ‘Allow while using the app’).
- Scan the QR Code
Now the camera will open. Point the camera at the QR code on the computer screen. Authentication will happen instantly, and the conversations from your phone will open on the computer.
Now, as you can see, all your conversations will open as if you are using the Telegram app on your phone. You can also make calls from your computer, unlike WhatsApp Web, which does not allow you to make calls except through the official WhatsApp desktop application. This shows that Telegram Web is more flexible and powerful than WhatsApp Web.
Features of Telegram Web
Telegram Web allows us to use the Telegram application on a computer. The application can be opened from a browser like Google Chrome or Safari, etc. The great thing about this is the ease of opening Telegram on a computer without the need to download any software. Just open Google Chrome or any browser, complete the authentication process between the phone app and the browser, and start chatting.
Another advantage of Telegram Web (based on experience on the same computer) is that it is faster to open than WhatsApp Web and takes less time. It is also lighter on the computer.
Why Telegram Web? Some prefer Telegram Web on the computer for more privacy. When you download the official application, conversations will remain on the computer, which another person might open. To be fair, this is a double-edged sword; in terms of opening conversations, Telegram Web opens on the computer again even if you close the browser.
If another person comes and opens Telegram Web on the same computer, they will see your conversations! It’s quick to open without re-authentication but offers less privacy. However, you can certainly log out from your phone.
Logging Out of Telegram Web
You can log out of Telegram Web by opening the Telegram app on your phone and doing the following:
- Open the menu, then Settings.
- Press the Devices option.
After that, press “Terminate All Other Sessions” and then press OK. You can also press on “Chrome” and log out from the Google Chrome browser. The other option shows you all open sessions and allows you to end the login from each browser.
It is essential to know how to log out, especially if we use Telegram Web in a cafe or a public place, or if the computer is used by more than one family member and you want to maintain your privacy.
