Please be clear: can a new account be registered via Telegram Desktop, or not? #28659

Closed BlohoJo closed 2 hours ago

Steps to reproduce

This is a duplicate of #16296. But that was closed and marked as "resolved" when it was not in fact resolved. So I'm repeating the question here.

I don't have a smart phone but I have an iPad and also a flip phone that can receive SMS. I need to use Telegram Desktop to read and download content from users for my job. I am not a dirty rotten spammer and I'm getting fed up with being treated like one. It makes me feel like a second class citizen and it is not user friendly.

  1. Launch desktop App and click Start Messaging
  2. Click Or log in using your phone number
  3. Enter flip phone's number, click Next
  4. Click Send code via SMS

Expected behaviour

Should send SMS code to the entered phone number, as the message states.

Actual behaviour

Entire screen dims and get white message dialog that states, "Please enter the code that was sent to you via telegram or login via QR code. If you haven't signed up for telegram yet, please register from your phone or tablet first."

The "or tablet first" implies that you can still sign up without a smart phone, because tablets don't have phone numbers (at least not in the USA). I do have an iPad, but the Telegram application on my iPad asks for a phone number immediately upon starting up, and entering any number here only generates the message, "We've sent the code to the Telegram app for +1 XXX-XXX-XXXX on your other device."

So "please register from your phone or tablet first" is completely misleading, as you CANNOT register a new Telegram account on a tablet like the message says.

If it's not possible to register a new Telegram account without a smart phone, then the application should clearly state this! I've spent hours on this now, I can't get that time back.
