Adding a "Delete my account" feature

Components

I use Telegram mobile app daily. There is one issue that bothers me though. Most novice who approached me at one time or the other whose mobile numbers were compromised to open up telegram accounts does not know how to delete their accounts after finding out about this compromise.

Proposal

It would be really good to have an option on "Settings" section regarding this, a "Delete my account" option that would enable non tech savvy users to easily and flawlessly delete their accounts just like same function present on "whatsapp" chat app.

Mockups / Examples

• Here is current view of "Settings" section of the app

• Here is mock view after implementation of suggestion

Benefits

It will increase user friendliness benefiting most importantly the non tech savvy individuals who never intended to have telegram opened in the first case, but their mobile numbers where used without consent/permission by unscrupulous individuals ( usually close friends or cycles) to open up a telegram account for scamming activities.
Many times I have been faced with these individuals who never knew how they got on telegram wanting to delete their accounts but does not know how to.
This will help users easily in deleting their account without needing rigorous help and prevent their mobile numbers from being used for telegram fraudulent activities.
