Telegram FOSS is dead?

My concern is uninstalling Telegram FOSS and ending up locked out of my account.

Install both clients to test or you have the option to get SMS codes using Telegram X client anyway…

Telegram foss refuses login

You can’t. This happened to me in the past. If you’re already login in some different device but can’t access any such device (or uninstalled the TG client) then it’s impossible to get codes even if try login TG on browser. Because TG always sends codes to login devices via TG, the SMS option doesn’t work. But install Telegram X which is the only Android client based on TDLib. It can send you actual SMS code to your phone number
