3. Telegram Desktop (Linux):

The location can vary depending on your Linux distribution and how you installed Telegram. Common locations include:
~/.TelegramDesktop/tdata
~/.local/share/TelegramDesktop/tdata
The data structure within tdata is consistent with the Windows and macOS versions.
4. Telegram for Android:

Telegram for Android utilizes the SQLite database format for some of its local data. These files are typically named with the .db extension.
Path (Internal Storage): /data/data/org.telegram.messenger/databases/ (Accessing this path usually requires a rooted Android device and a file explorer with root access).
Path (External Storage/SD Card): If you have moved Telegram data to an SD card, the path will vary depending on your device's configuration. Look for a folder named org.telegram.messenger within your SD card's root directory.
Key database files you might find (names can vary slightly):
user_data.db
messages.db
contacts.db
media.db
5. Telegram for iOS:

Telegram for iOS stores its local data within the application's sandbox. Accessing these files directly is generally not possible without jailbreaking your iOS device.
If you have a jailbroken device, you might be able to browse the application's container using tools like Filza File Manager. The database files are often SQLite databases with .sqlite or .db extensions.
Similar to Android, you might find files related to user data, messages, contacts, and media.
Reading Telegram Database Files: Tools and Techniques

Once you have located the database files, the method for reading them depends heavily on the file format:

1. Reading the tdata Files (Windows, macOS, Linux):

The tdata files on desktop platforms are not kuwait telegram phone number list in a standard, easily readable database format like SQLite. They are proprietary to Telegram and often contain data in a serialized binary format.
There are no official tools provided by Telegram to read these files directly.
Attempting to open these files with standard database browsers or text editors will likely result in gibberish or an inability to parse the data.
Reading these files often requires reverse engineering the Telegram Desktop application to understand the data structures and develop custom tools, a task well beyond the scope of most users.
2. Reading SQLite Database Files (Android, Potentially Jailbroken iOS):

If you have access to the SQLite database files on a rooted Android device or a jailbroken iOS device, you can use standard SQLite database browser tools.
Tools:
DB Browser for SQLite (Desktop): A free, open-source tool available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. You can use this to open and browse .db or .sqlite files.
SQLite Viewer Apps (Android): Several apps on the Google Play Store allow you to view SQLite databases directly on your Android device (requires root access for system paths).
SQL Clients (Command Line or GUI): Tools like sqlite3 (command line) or various GUI SQL clients can be used to interact with SQLite databases.
