I have a smartphone and signed up on it after downloading the Telegram app for the phone. After I found out I didn’t like it on the phone I downloaded the app for PC. I signed in with my phone number and password to use the app on the computer. I didn’t have to scan the barcode since I already had it on my phone when I signed up.
Will the phone you do have (if you have one) scan a barcode? You have to download a barcode scanning app for it to do that.
Let me see what I can find out.
That’s what I was afraid of, thanks. I only have an emergency flip phone. No apps in it! lol
I do have an old android wifi tablet, but it was probably made before they could scan barcodes. Oh, never mind - I see that you need an actual phone number! Shoot, I wish these platforms wouldn’t require that - it’s an invasion of privacy, even if I did have one!
So I guess I’ll lumber along, viewing as much as I can on the PC...
