I believe they do store data on their servers. Their desktop app doesn't require syncing to your phone.
Can you explain your thinking about why you believe that? I would have interpreted the guidelines in the opposite way.
Telegram does permit individual manual deletion of group conversation messages for all parties, and bulk deletion of 1-1 conversation messages for everyone, just not the group chats. It's incredibly inconsistent even by their own standards.

Reading through the reasons in the "When does the right to erasure apply?" on the link I posted it is not obvious if any of the listed ones apply. As for the syncing - if they are fully encrypting everything but you have the keys on those devices and they dont have them, what they have is not considered usable by them data. I am not entirely sure how Telegram operate anymore though - if there is no syncing at all, then yes they likely store it in an accessible by them way.
- hnhg 7y agoAh, ok, I think my right lies somewhere in me withdrawing consent and my belief that they lack a 'legitimate interest' (which is somewhat well defined under GDPR) for retaining it. I might contact the ICO and Telegram and see what they say - might be fun :)
