Nobody signed me out, and I'm having the same problem. Had to re-validate my phone number, enter first/last etc. (For a messaging tool used in crypto communities that value privacy, using the phone # as identifier is strange and annoying.)

Also, all messaging history is gone, and I'm no longer in any groups. Had to hunt for invites and so on.

I've been using Telegram on Ubuntu, with auto-update set to on.

@dandv I still have this problem. It happened last time a few days ago, and keeps happening every 1-6 weeks seemingly at random. No one is signing me out - I know that for a fact. As you point out, it seems ironic that a messaging service focused on security and privacy has this problem.
