Therefore, being able to monitor the traffic used is worth a lot.
Despite the fact that the main information in Telegram is stored on a special cloud, some files are still located directly in the memory of your device. This application storage system allows the phone to run faster because it internal memory turns out to be a relatively small load.
This principle of storing information is useful in cases where the device has few resources for storing memory. Of course, it is more expedient to spend them for other purposes.
What is stored in the Telegram cache?
The Telegram cache stores various files that you used in your correspondence - documents, video and audio recordings, photos. Thanks to the service created by the application developers, users can independently adjust the amount of the specified memory. A nice feature of the application is the ability to delete materials combined into one category. For example, you can clear your phone's memory only from photos, or only from videos, or from all at once. This is very convenient, since the program itself identifies materials and offers the user the most convenient options for clearing memory.
Telegram cache management
If you are using iOS, then you have access to the function of deleting the cache for each individual dialogue. For greater convenience, in the application settings, you can select the function of deleting files once a week. If you periodically "clear" the Telegram cache, then you do not need to worry about the performance of your smartphone or any other device - files will be deleted on their own, depending on the frequency that you specify in the settings.
If necessary, the functions of the messenger can be configured in such a way that automatic download stuff didn't happen. This is especially useful for those users who do not have unlimited Internet traffic transmitted from using wi-fi... This option can be set in the "Chat settings" section. After you have adjusted this parameter, you can download various files at a time when it is convenient. In this case, performing various manipulations with the application is not only safe, but also profitable - after all, now you are sure that you will not spend a lot of money on downloading files, right?
There are more than enough chats (groups) for communication on a variety of topics in the Telegram messenger. Sometimes they are created for private communication between a small circle of interlocutors, and sometimes for more global purposes.

Possible problems
The creator of the group is unlikely to have technical problems, because he has full right to delete all your projects based on information created inside the messenger. But if the creator loses his account, then this will happen with the conversation.
Participant gaps include:
- Exit private chat. If you delete from your contacts closed group, then it is no longer possible to return on your own.
- Access to correspondence. You can only clear the history on your device; the interlocutors keep all correspondence. Moreover, the group settings provide two privacy options: new members can see all the correspondence from the day the group was created, or only those messages that were sent after they joined the conversation.
Conclusion
At one time, everyone had or will have to delete the chat. If it's not just about leaving the group, but about removing it, then you need to think not only about your interests, but also about the consent of the participants. The deleted chat disappears from all interlocutors along with the correspondence and files.
When you leave the conversation, access to the correspondence becomes impossible, unless, of course, he is a public supergroup. Therefore, you need to be prepared for the fact that sent messages do not disappear anywhere, and only its participants can see them. For private dialogues, it is better to use secret chats, since the likelihood of publicity is minimized. Hope this information was helpful.
