What Happens When You Delete Your Account  

Deleting your Arattai account is a permanent action that cannot be undone. Here's a quick summary of what will happen:
  • All your messages and data are erased: All of your messages, media, and cloud chats are permanently deleted.
  • Your profile is removed: Your account, phone number, and username (if set) are no longer associated with Arattai.
  • Your username becomes available: Others can claim your old username once your account is deleted.
  • You are removed from all groups and channels: You will automatically be removed from any group or channel you joined or created. Your messages in groups will stay, but your profile will show as "Deleted Account."
  • You can't restore it later: Once deleted, there's no way to recover the account or its data. You will need to create a new account if you want to use Arattai again.
