Can Someone Access Another Person's Telegram Messages by Stealing Their SIM Card?

I want to know if you can do something like this: If a person is using Telegram with their number, and I steal their SIM card and put it in my phone, will I be able to see their Telegram messages?

Of course it's not that simple. Telegram messages are stored on local storage. What you probably meant is to simjack the number and get a code to authorize Telegram on your device. That will allow you to see any chats that are not end-to-end encrypted as long as 2SV is not enabled.

No, you would not be able to see the person’s existing Telegram messages just by inserting their SIM card into your phone. Telegram uses cloud-based storage and additional security features

But it uses the phone number for authentication as I stated above.

Yes , If it is not 2fa protected .
Speaking of telegram, I know that this is probably not the best place to ask, but I'm looking for a help in recovering a locked telegram account. Is there any pointer or tips I can look into?

The caveat is that I no longer have access to the SIM card and there's no email attached to the account

Thank you!

I found some methods, but none of these are likely to work for you as you have no way to prove that the account is yours.
